sorry for the delay. between work and school its hard to find time. so the alt that was in it was from "oh really" and i believe it to be in the low to mid 50's for amperage. i was able to get a hold of an alt with a lifetime warranty from "the zone" and i believe its 55 for amperage.
i have a 3 groove damper and a 2 groove waterpump pulley, so a stock alternator pulley wont line up, and sits about a quarter inch behind the water pump and damper grooves.
something something life and lemons, something something lemonade.
i hooked it up anyway, belt alignment be damned. she started right up and was showing 14+ volts at idle. so yeah, bad alternator. i dont have the tools to swap pulleys, so i thought id outsmart the alternators and just swap halves out. yeah, no. but shes running and shes charging and im ok with that.
ive run it for about 2 weeks with no alternator. every day i would come home and hook the battery to a 2 amp charger overnight. thats not gonna hurt the battery, is it?
