I just switch to an 140 amp alt. after the one I had give up. Battery voltage is now staying up ad 14.5V all of time. I can turn on all accessiers at idle and the voltage only falls down to about 13.5V. The car is running smoother etc.

Make sure you know which mounting you have . Straight clocking or offset. On the left is offset clocking ( see how the mounting tabs are compared to the other? Right is the straight clocking one.I bought the wrong one first.
