hi, i have a 85 tpi camaro, dont know wat type of alternater i need cuz i dont have the orginal? is there any down side to using a alternator that puts out alot of amps, like 200 amps? will i frie my electrical system?

 

Any parts store should be able to tell you what alternator your car needs!!

 

down side? huge $, perhaps burning out faster.

If you just need a stock motor, a junkyard or partstore alt for your car is what you want.

If you want higher output, you can try going to a CS144, or a powermaster aftermarket style alternator, but only if you have a huge stereo, or other electrical gizmos added.
