OEM was 140 amp Delcotron with a boosted idle performance curve.
I like Powerline alternators myself.

see im adding a 1500 and a 400 watt amplifier...and will really only listen to it when im driving (not idle) i dont want my electrical sytem to suffer because i want it loud, do you think the 140 is enough if i got the original rewound and ran 2gauge wire to the battery?
