I thought FB were 60 amp..
Then S5 FC were 80 amp?
Whats the raiting on a TII alt?
The alt that is on my FB has a lifetime warrenty so i dont want to take it apart,My 10 AE alt I want to take it apart...polish it and paint the ring that connects to the 2 housings..
Then get one made for this later with more amps..

Voltage isn't the same as amperage...
And I'm not sure if the wires or the components in our cars cand can handle the amperage.
each electrical component has certain voltage and amperage tolerances. If anyone knows of the tolerances of all the electrical load in the FB, you can check it against the alternator output. Unless the alternators ouput is strickly going through the battery first and is seperated from the rest of the electrical system.
Maybe someone will buy one off of you and be the genie-pig (sp?)

If you're going to get a higher rated alternator, I'd reccomend getting the fusible link box from another car. Perhpas an FC or newer 323, 626, or 929... Or something... Then use branches off that to power what you need the higher alternator for, IE foglights,stereo, etc... Also run an extra thick wire from the Alternator output to the + battery terminal. Put a fuse in that wire rated at the alternator's output.

Or just get a rebuilt one, throw your FB or FC alt in the box for the core and wait till some dumbass is working at the store to return it.

how many FD's you seen in a junkyard to get an alt?

The TII alternator at 80 amps presents no problem whatsoever for the old stock wiring in a 1980 chassis with the simple addition of an 10 gauge or better cable going directly to the battery. I can't imagine a 20 ampere-extra feed ability if regulated at 13.8 volts would cause any problem. None at all...nope...
And there never ever was a problem with alternator or battery with the direct connection, so don't bring it up...

I know the old rotaries had 50 amp lead strip type fuses. A newer internal reg alt rated at 50amps works perfectly. You've just got to get a T shaped connector and splice it in and loop or mod the wires that used to connect to the old voltage reg (metal box). I've got like four of the later style alts around here (three with large housings and one smaller non-external-fan style).
