Second one purchased, this is for another project. Test sheet shows 61 amps at full charge! Don't forget the matching pulley as it's not included.

this is my 2nd mini alternator. put one on the asphalt car last year for newton race. we left some fans on and ran battery down just before race, after qualifying. started race with battery almost dead. not enough juice to even start car when lined up. got push started. no problems, battery charged back during race, that had to be a test on it. putting one on my dirt car now with krc brackets. nice setup for ford
