Has anyone fitted a non-alfa alternator to their car? I've been looking for something with a bit more juice like 100A vs. the pitiful 65A that I have now. I have seen that you can put on a 164 alternator but requires a bit of modification, and thanks for posting that...VERY GOOD info!
The reason I ask is because I've been looking for new alternators and JCwhitney lists (probably incorrectly) a ton of american 70-80's GM alternators as replacements. I wanted to try and find a 100A alternator on ebay, but sadly the one's that are rebuilds of the stock bosch are gone.
Could I just rebuild the current one with new brushes and an adjustable regulator? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

I took my Bosch alternator to a rebuilder and told him what I had in mind. He fixed me up with a single wire AC Delco alternator with 85 amps. I did have to grind down the bottom mount on the alternator to duplicate the Bosch and turn the top mount upside down for it to fit but everything works fine. It's been on there for 2 years without problems. Wish I could tell you the exact alternator but I can't.

Que pasa people,
Amptech Alternator by revolution technologies : www.great-water.com.
I recently instaled a small frame 140 amp high output with external adjustable regulator to keep it cool and away from headers or manifold heat. Need 2 do a small modification 2 the bracket.
