can anybody tell me what the stock FD's peak load in amps is on the alternator? i need to know what the alternator is rated at and what the car takes from it in a peak situation.

thanks,
paul

if my car was running, id put it on a tester. you can get the test done at an auto parts store. just do it with EVERYTHING on to get the full result.

thanks,

http://www.mazdaformance.com/rx7.htm This is the page from the mazda manual with the technical data for the alternator, battery, starter and ignition system. Go here and then click on technical info and look at page TD-5.
