Greetings, Another thing I need for the cowl beautification project is a smaller alternator. My current alternator is a stock FD 100 amp unit, with an aftermarket double pulley. It's big, and heavy, and provides way more current than I need now that I don't have electric fans, or an electric water pump. What seems to be the best choice these days for small alternators? It would need to have an available double V belt pulley, and provide at least 30 amps. Tracy mentioned a small Ford unit, but I neglected to ask for details. Which one would that be Tracy?
