Alt. Replacement

I installed a isolated field parts store replacement unit on mine years ago. It came with a output test that claimed 80 amps, but I don't what the test rpm was. I never had a problem with the higher output, but you run into problem when you do things like jump start another car with your car running. Or if you have a dead battery and you get jump started. In these situations your alternator will go max output and is much more likely to hurt your wiring(meaning fire).

Another factor I should mention is that my car is a 1965 and they use a bolt together connection at the bulkhead instead of the more common and failure prone slide together style.
