I was thinking about going to higher amp alternator but wanted to ask could this fry out my wiring? Was thinking about a 94 amp alt.

Thanks

No it will cause no harm to your wiring..... I've ran as high as a 120 amp alternator on my truck when I was running all of my Off Road lights, I have stepped down to a 100 Amp Polished, and Chromed alternator since I'm powering only the truck and a couple of Amps for the Stereo..

I need to add, I have stock wiring... In good shape.

Thanks Ron
I am looking at getting a 94 amp alt for it. I need some serious tunes in the 68 like I have in my 01 sierra. 2 rockford fosgates and a changer would be nice

I've Got 135 Amp Alternators In Both My 69 Towtruck & My 71 Blazer. With Stock Wiring In Good Shape With No Problems. John
