Most cucv's came with 12v alternators. What model do you have? The 24V ones look very different from the 12v ones.
The mechanic said its a 24 volt

IIRC you have a M1008, which had 2 12v alternators.

Only the M1010 came with the 24V alternators, Leece Neville made them.

As Ralbelt said, it's a M1008.
Time to find a new mechanic.
The M1008 alternators are GM 27Si - 12v alternators with the "Isolated Ground". That is the the internal electronics are grounded thru the ground stud and not the alternator housing like "normal" alternators.
Search for isolated ground and there are many, many, many post covering this.

It depends on what's wrong with it. He is very good and reasonable. Both my starter and alt were shot $220 I think. He stands behind all of his work.

You can find the rebuild kits online for under $50. Twright found some for just over $30. PM him for the sellers location or possibly a rebuilt one for sale.

Yes, 12v alternator. Only M1010 used 24v alternator - I think I already posted this in this thread?
