Description
This high quality internally regulated replacement alternator is the perfect alternative to the overpriced Bosch unit. AC Industries was the first to go overseas and work with a factory to make this line of alternators back in 2006. Since then we have sold several thousand units and have a better warranty ratio than the more expensive Bosch counterpart. You can buy this part with confidence! This part is rated at 90 amps and comes in a natural aluminum finish.
Tech note: Alternator amp ratings are like horsepower ratings on motors. If you try to run a motor at max horsepower 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 90 amp alternator x 65% = approximately 58 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 on’s. Total all of this amperage draw and compare it to the above formula. This will help you choose the right alternator for your specific car. Doing this upfront will help eliminate potential problems in the future!
Installation Note: Will not work on cars with 36hp or smaller engine cases with 90mm fixed generator stands. Will fit Type 3 Fastback and Notchback with Type 1 (upright style) engine only. Will not fit Square backs 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 car’s electrical system before ordering.
