I live in France and none of those close to me have the answer ^^
I also asked for the coil spring, radio and headlights and that's the same issue...
Don't have other choices to buy direclty from US.

AC Delco part number 3351040 is what you need.

RockAuto carries them, but I'm not sure if they will ship to France.

Re: Alternator for RS 1990 305ci

Thx, i did find one website selling this one but at 180 eu.... like 200$...
Alternateur ACDELCO 335-1040 (uspiecesautos.com)
About your seller, they did send it to France for 26$! That's a pretty good deal
But after some research, the reviews are pretty bad... Avis de RockAuto | Lisez les avis marchands de www.rockauto.com (trustpilot.com)

But i have one question, where is the Bat- on it? I do have a cable on my car attached to the alternator.

Re: Alternator for RS 1990 305ci

The photo RockAuto has of the back of the alternator shows the BAT screw post. It's the right one for your car.

The other link you sent is also the same part, so that will work too.

Not sure on the RockAuto negative reviews. RockAuto is excellent here in the states, but maybe there are more issues when shipping overseas.

Not talking about the bat+ but bat- (aka ground). I'll see tonight where this cable is going...

Thx for the link, i'll try my luck with this website, hoping everything goes fine!

There should not be a separate ground cable to the alternator from the factory. The alternator case grounds through the mounting bracket to the engine block. Someone may have added a ground strap at some point, but that would just be connected to the alternator case using any available threaded hole.

Re: Alternator for RS 1990 305ci

I would have looked up the part number for you but did not realize you are not in the U.S. ...
