Hi all I've been researching regarding the possibility of upgrading the 130 AMP alternator I have on my 1990 GT which came from from a SN95. According to my investigations this alternator is what they call "Large case" So my project is to change the output of this alt. to deliver 200 AMP. For this I'm going to replace the Staor and Rectifier with HD units for 200 AMP.
The main reason for this upgrade is because my Alt. started acting like one of the bearings was seizing and was friying my belt with loud squeling noise. I took it apart and cleaned the housing so I decided to paint it and it looks nice . So I told myself why not to upgrade it to a higger output just in case. I need more juice later.
By the way I just finished installing a new DCC fan controller. That is a nice piece and works smooth. Special thanks to Brian Baskins (Owner) for his advices.
Anyways this thread is to ask anyone that has done this alternator upgrades for any ideas or tell me if is not possible.
Thank you all, Nick
