Is there any way to tell the amperage output of a delco alternator by just looking at it? I'm bored and am looking to do a weldornator on the jeep using junkyard parts. Correctly identifying a 100 amp alt would make my life a little easier when I'm at the pull a part. TIA
 
Nevermind. According to advance autoparts' website, everything late 80s to mid 90 GM cars, trucks and vans all had 105 amp alts as long as it had A/C. Good info if anyone else decides to build a weldernator.

Hey willnes33, I had bookmarked these a while back.
One can never have too much info, doing these type of projects.

Ha. Google led me to those threads just last night. I'll probably start on this in the next couple of weeks. I think the only real hardish part of the whole thing will be mounting it and bootyfabbing a pulley off of one of my current accessories.
 
i found a 140 amp alt from gm, should be lots of junkyard cores too. Used one to convert my '66 buick from it's lowly 40 ext reg unit

Thanks. A 140 amp will provide a little more punch on the tip of the rod. List printed and I'll take it to the pull a part when I go.
