I believe it is like 46 amps for a stock one wire.

I use a 94amp off of an 85-87 Chevy. Car,truck,Celeberty,P6000, a lot of the GM\'s use them. I also use the MSD ignition and have a full Bose stero with 8 amps on board. Have never had a problem with the battery.

a stock 1980 altornator is 60 amps,you can also get a 70amp hd altornator from a caprice i beleive thats the biggest one that they made around that year, but get the big one that fasrnur uses, i have the same one now, works awesome

I have acouple old alternators laying around..i know they work good, how do i tell what amp they are?

[fasrnur]

Stamped on the side or in the front above the fan it will say...40A,60A,70A,90A...this is the amperge.



Hope this helps
