[Roadsters] Alternator Upgrade

[Pete Peters]

That's exactly what I did; "Need an alternator for an '81 Camaro with a
305." Depending on the rebuild, you may get a 60, 63, 70, or higher amp alt.

I must've read/re-read the How-to and related posts a zillion times. The
actual install took less than an hour...easy. The only thing I would do
different is explore whether a later Nissan or 92-95 Saturn alt would fit
since they're smaller than the GM alt.

The 60 amp should be plenty.

 From Eric Smeby's write-up on 311s.org:

I walked into NAPA and asked for a 60 amp alternator for an 81 Camaro  
with a 305.
''Here I was, no mullet with a wimpy 305 in my otherwise Bitchin'  
Camaro. The guy behind the counter scoffed at me, but I told him it  
had T-tops Then he thought I was cool.''
