Any internally regulated Bosch alternator from a Holden HQ on wards will do the job, the bigger the amps output the better thou. Units from HQ on basic around 35amps to 55 amp units.

If you search I have posted quite a lengthy answer to changing over from gen to alt before.
Good Luck

Hi Guys.

The HQs had an alternator with an external regulator, similar to HD-HG.

The alternator you need will come off anything from HJ to VK Commodore.

There are 2 different brand units used. Avoid the Lucas & use a Bosch one.
