Holley's premium alternators are engineered to tolerate 30% higher RPMs than conventional alternators and are made in the USA, built for drag racing, auto-cross, or hot-rod use where a stock alternator can fail. The sculpted all-aluminum housing produces cleaner, more efficient output from a compact package, using technology GM adopted for 2014-and-later Corvettes. This polished version fits all Holley accessory brackets as well as 4th-generation F-body, most 1998-2004 GM trucks, and many other applications.
