I am just finishing my TBI conversion on a jeep and i wanted to know if anyone knew the specs on the chevy alternator (ie amps, watts) so i can make sure the current system will be able to handle the new FI. The doner was a 91 chevy 1500 4.3.
Thanks

Don't know but the old cheby alternators usually put out around 45 amps. A quick search looks like the newer ones are running around 90-100 amps. Call your local parts store and ask about a replacement alt for the donor vehicle, then ask them how many amps it is.
