high amp alternator questions???

[tucsonjwt]

I got a 140 amp alternator from National Quick Start, but I don't drive my truck enough to know if it was a big improvement. Here is a link to their FAQ page, which has some interesting information, like the need to increase the cable size from your alternator to battery when you get a high output alternator. If you call them them seem very knowledgeable about alternators and what you would need for your square. There are different frame sizes for Delco alternators, and the one I got was bigger than the stock one, so it just barely fit the bracket (I think I had to modify it a bit). They also supplied me with an adapter connector so the new alternator would work with the old harness. I don't have a sound blaster system so I don't know what you need. I just wanted more alternator output to keep my dual start battery setup charged in my big block.
