Alternator Upgrade

[Smitty]

I think that my alternator is going south, a bad bearing. Haven't really determined yet due to this weekends liquid sunshine. But if it needs replacing I want to go with an internally regulated 63 amp unit. What application do I ask the challenged counterperson at the parts store for. Also is there a patch thats available to by-pass the existing regulator or a simple sketch as I am electrically challenged. Thanks in advance for any input or information. This is a lesson for me. I need to take old paint out of the driveway more often. Used to drive daily until the gas prices went through the roof.

If you search for alternator, you will find the thread about options. When I searched, I found a Camaro 350 HO that Autozone had for like $70 and it's a 90 amp setup.

There are a few different ones that will work, but it depends on what you want to spend.

Here's a link if you want to switch it to a internal regulator style.
