Alternator current output
I've got stock HP500 (carb) alternators, and I'm doing a significant audio upgrade. Anyone know what the current output is on my alternators?
Thanks,
Brian

I believe most Delco's are 60 amp. You probably need more battery power to supply adequate power for a serious amplifier. The alternator might not be able to deliver the peak current required of a high powered amp or amps.
Good luck.
