Description
New 60 Amp Alternator with internal voltage regulator, black finish. Sold each.
Tech note: Alternator amp ratings are like horse power ratings on motors. If you try to run a motor at max horse power it will not live long. Same goes with an alternator. We recommend not to load your alternator consistently with more than 65% of the max rating of your alternator. So a 55 amp alternator x 65% = approximately 36 consistent amps. Your amperage needs will vary based on your car accessories. Look at the components of your car, start with the ignition, lights, wipers and move on to the radio, amplifier and all other electrical add-ons. Total all of this amperage draw and compare it to the above formula. This will help you chose the right alternator for your specific car. Doing this up front will help eliminate potential problems in the future!
Installation Note: Will not work on cars with 36hp or smaller engine cases with fixed generator stands. Will fit Type 3 Fastback and Notchback with Type 1 (upright style) engine only. Will not fit Squarebacks or Type 3’s with pancake style engines. Will not fit Buses with Type 4 pancake style engines.
Application Note: Volkswagen converted to 12 Volt in 1967, however most cars prior to 1967 have already been converted to 12 Volt. Please verify your cars electrical system before ordering.
