Need some more Amps.

larrywMember

Now that my A/C system is now on line (thanks Larry Finch and SOBill), everything electrical in the car is now operational.

I did the headlight, fans and ignition relay installations (thanks George).

I've got LEDs in every light socket that will accept them (thanks John Taphorn).

I've also added a lot of supplemental grounds.

I intend to put in the Quad headlamp system and I'd like to try Joules PIAA bumper mount hole driving lights and brake strobes too.

I tried a little test the other day and turned everything on, one accessory at a time, and found out the obvious. There is no way my alternator can keep up with all this.

My local alternator guy says there's no externally regulated bolt in Ford alternator that can put out the juice I need at lower RPM's

What's the current consensus on alternator upgrades? Generally (theory), and specifically (part numbers and wiring mods).

Does an practical alternator exist that can support everything at an idle?
