Fitment:
This is a direct fit high-output alternator for the 1965-1969 Oldsmobile 442 6.6L. Being a direct fit, this alternator fits directly into your stock alternator location.
Plug:
This high-output alternator comes with a 14.8 Volt GM Style Internal Regulator with one wire connection. This alternator is not plug-and-play and must be wired with the one wire connection.
NOTE: If you require charging at a certain voltage setpoint, we offer a selection of different voltage regulators that you will need to purchase with the alternator for it to be installed. View our Regulator Options Here.
Pulley:
This alternator also comes with a smaller pulley, which causes it to spin faster than a larger pulley. This can help the alternator produce its maximum output. With a smaller pulley, it is required to install a 1/2" - 1" shorter belt.
See this Blog Article for assistance in finding the correct shorter belt.
Big 3 Wiring:
When Upgrading to a High-Output Alternator, it is required to upgrade your wiring with the Big 3 Wiring Upgrade Kit. It is recommended to use 1/0 100% copper wires for the upgrade. Our Big 3 Wiring Upgrade Kit is 10% off with a purchase of a JS Alternator; use code BIG3DISCOUNT at checkout.

JS Alternators frequently asked questions
How long will it take before my order ships?
Orders ship in approximately 5-15 business days, sometimes sooner. Alternators that require a custom bracket can take 10-25 business days.If for some reason parts are on back order, we will notify you, but this is not common. If payments are being made on an order, your order will start processing when the order is placed.
Is there a warranty for the alternators?
We offer lifetime warranty on alternator labor and a one year warranty on parts. All orders are heavily wrapped for shipping with several layers of big bubble wrap and two layers of boxes along with a Fragile sticker on the box. If you have to ship your alternator back, please be sure you wrap it the same way to prevent further damage.
I'm close to my 1-year warranty, and a part broke. I can't send it in for a few days. Will you still honor the warranty?
Yes. Please fill out our return form at https://js-alternators.com/pages/rga-request-returnsIf this is filled out prior to your one-year date, we will honor the warranty for an additional 90 days.
What is a shorter belt and where can I buy one?
Each of our high output alternators come with smaller overdrive pulley. This pulley is made to increase low RPM charging for maximum output. It is custom for the diameter of the overdrive to be less than your factor pulley, depending on the kind of vehicle you own. For this reason, unless otherwise specified, you will need at least a 1/2 inch shorter belt. You can purchase this from any auto parts store. In using the belt and the pulley system, ensure that each part of the pulley system is free of oil or grease, this will help its efficiency.
Why is a regulator plug important?
It is important to make sure that the small regulator plug that is located on the back of the alternator is well plugged in for the correct functionality. Do not forget to plug it in completely, try not to jam the plugs in backwards, and avoid pinching it in order not to create a short. For more information on regulators and wiring see installation instructions.
Why is it important to not change the pulley provided with the alternator?
Our high output alternators come with an overdrive pulley. The pulley is designed to improve low RPM charging so that it yields maximally. Do not change this overdrive pulley out with a larger diameter pulley. When alternator pulley diameter is increased, the output amperage decreases. Changing the pulley will void all warranties
Why is my alternator not "putting out" enough?
As promised to all our customers, our products are fully tested ensuring their outstanding performance before shipping. In our experience through the years, it is in many cases not the alternator itself. You must ensure you consider a few possible concerns in your troubleshooting – please read the instruction manual thoroughly.
Why is my battery light coming on and/or why is my alternator not charging?
The reason could be one of two things: Either the plug is wired incorrectly or the computer is sensing the higher voltage and causing the battery light to come on even though the alternator is charging properly. Please refer to the instruction manual tab on the website for specific instructions that will help you with wiring. For some older vehicles, the factory style regulator is not available with the hairpin style alternator. This is why your high output alternator will come already “upgraded” with the 15 volt regulator. It will have an oval plug which requires splicing into the factory plug. This is a simple ,fast step and these instructions are detailed for you in the instruction manual.
What voltage will my alternator be set to?
We use your vehicles stock voltage unless requested otherwise.
