Ok thanks again for all of the good info. I will talk to my mechanic friend and try to get things done.

I have a separate wire with a fusable link going to my amp.

Alternator - Remfd - Standard 45 A This is what I'm looking at. Is the voltage regulator a standard piece, or does it vary depending upon amperage? Thanks again.

Thanks for the info. Well now you've basically scared me into a 45. What is the standard amperage for a stock 69 slant anyway? Again, I'm good at lifting things, matching threads, torquing bolts evenly, gapping plugs, draining n replacing fluids.....blah blah blah. In no way would I ever...

And also, it's a 225 slant. Think 50 is safe without replacing components or blowing them out?

Thanks for the reply man. It's a 300w amp btw. My friend also said to replace the voltage regulator, but didn't mention bulkhead connector/bypass. I replaced and checked the ballast resistor if that's what you mean. Obviously I'm not a mechanic, so excuse my ignorance.

Hi everyone. My good mechanic friend confirmed that my alternator is smoked. Metal powder shavings on the back. I'm running an audio amp. Should I go with a stronger 60amp alternator, or will it start frying the rest of my electrical system? Its an all original design. Thanks for the help.

Thanks again for the additional posts. Learning a lot here...maybe too much hahahaha. Now you guys are starting to scare me. Its ok. I ran around with a fuel leak spraying into the bottom of my ignition coil with a hole in it hahahahah. Yep true. Me and this car should already be...

Thanks for the detailed info. I'll borrow a meter from my friend the next time I'm over at his shop and see what kind of numbers I'm getting. I have a 6 gauge cable running directly from my battery to the amp(with a fusible link in between). Another friend who is good with stereos mentioned a...

Hi everyone. I installed a 300 watt stereo system in my 1969 Valiant with an original electrical system and my alternator gauge is running high. It's reading about the 3/4 mark, between the center sweet spot and max. I just replaced a dead battery and someone told me, I could be boiling it...
