Ok Ok Ok.
I have to many gadgets in my car for a 75 amp alternator to support. They all work great but they are pigs: Heated seats high power stereo Sub woofer w/ amp HID headlights windshield washer pump Interior / map lights in rear view mirror etc. So I have a seperate circuit and an electrical sub-panel to support the load safely but simply put: "I need more power Scotty!" Took my old 50 amp Bosch to an alternator / starter rebuilder and after looking at it a bit they recommended the AC Delco 100 / 105+ amp single wire alternator with integral regulator for $110 rebuilt. He stated that it could run the dash idiot light too. Not quite ready to bypass the voltage regulator etc. I am sure this mod is probably old hat for some. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) Pete |
