To change the alternator in a 1985 Chevy Celebrity;
1. Disconnect the battery ground. Use protective gloves.
2. Loosen the belt adjuster bolt and the main mounting bolt. Move the alternator to loosen the drive belt, then remove the drive belt from the alternator pulley.
3. Disconnect the wires from the alternator.
4. Remove the bolts and lift the alternator from its mount.
Reverse the instructions to reinstall the alternator.
Pull the steering wheel. take the directional signal switch off, three screws hold it down and there should be a screw about 1.5 inches in from the edge of the column on the top side of where the lock cylinder would be. Take out the screw and the cylinder will pull straight out.
As far as bolting on, then yes. However, alternators come in different sizes. Internally, I mean. Amperage wise. If both vehicles have an equaly amount of electrical amenities, then they are probably close. NEW ANSWER: Sorry to be the 1 to say it. But the 85 will not bolt up to the 94 mounting bracket. From 1988----1995 alternators will interchange. And like Bigstrapper said, check the amperage there all different.

when you turn your key and you only hear humming noise, the problem will most likely be that the starter is not engaging the fly wheel, its turning but is not sliding forward to do its job. have the starter check.
I think someone gave you an Internally regulated alternator in place of your external type, it will not work unless you do some major wiring changes.
Most likely the alternator, voltage should be approximately 14 volts with the engine running.
