3rd gen alternators are the common choice. They put out upwards of 110 amps..a pretty powerful sucker they are. Search around the "for sale: parts" thread, as Silverrotor no longer sells them ..

He may still have some left, he did about week or two ago. He's a good guy, if he's got em you can't go wrong.

Before you blame the alternator, check your ground cables.

A lot of RX-7s have come by here complaining of a bad alternator, and it was just a badly corroded ground cable!
