Getting ready to replace my alternator.
There have been several things written about using a GM alternator with mods to fit the 67-70 Fords and Mercs because of the fact that our Autolite/motorcraft alternators are underamped and do not put out enough juice at idle and low RPMS. this of course makes the wipers slow down, the lights dim, and the sequential turn signals not work at all or properly at low RPM or idles situations.
I would rather not use a GM part. I know there is a higher amp alternator ( I think it is 65 amp) from Autolite.
Is this the best choice or is there a better alternative.
Say an aftermarket alternator that puts out plenty of good juice at idle and does not fry the voltage regulator?
Speak up or forever hold your amps..
What do you think everyone??
