I was wondering if anyone knew what the number of AMPS on a 1973 original alternator are?
I am looking to either rebuild my original or buy a new one?
I THINK it's a 36/63 output model. Meaning 36 amps at idle and 63 amps at higher RPMs.
Is it important that you replace it or rebuild it as a factory original?
If not, you might look into a more modern and more efficient CS130 or CS144. It's a very easy swap and if you have to buy a new alternator anyway upgrading just makes sense.
