Lo,

ok found 3 alternators for El Gordo that i THINK would fit. just need to make sure 1st.

theres :

45 Amp so same as stock.

http://cgi.ebay.co.u...Vie...A:IT&rd=1
72amp, not sure if it fits tho.

http://cgi.ebay.co.u...Vie...A:IT&rd=1
55amp, the one i would like.

So would each of them fit or have i gone to merry la la land?

Cheers.

i dont see why the 72amp wouldnt fit, looks ok!!!! buy it and 1 of the others and if it doesnt then sell it on again on ebay!!

[Big_Adam]

Still I'm a little concerned about using somthing that has double the rating of the original unit.

Still paranoid the extra amps are going to do somthing bad.

i could possibly do bad if your car starts demanding the full 72 amps, otherwise i cant see that it would hurt at all!! the electrical system would only take what it needs and enough to keep the battery charged!! the rest could really only be wasted capacity!!

That 72amp will fit, i bought one and there was no problems fitting it.

alright i'll go for that one then.

Cheers.......do have to use my old pully right?

[mini_dave]

yeah just wip your old pully of, and put it on that one, u might want to buy a new belt at the same time, also on the back of your currnt alternator there will be a black wire, make sure u put that on the new one aswell.
