Same plug. Bosch is just who rebuilt it. It's still a mitsubishi alternator.

Sorry guys for the ignorance but why do you want more amps. Better spark?
bassin' sound system?

defiler · 3-21-07, 16:16

Sound system probably...

**anarchyx34** · 3-21-07, 17:41

Sound system, fog lights, heated seats, etc... 70 amps is barely adequate for what the car comes with stock. Once you start adding stuff....

$9.99 titanium step-bit from Harbor Freight... not sure if it's the same one as his tho...

That looks like it would work. My friend had to drill out the pulley on his FC (to fit the FD alternator), and he used one of those.

defiler has a good location. "Industrial Grade" bits I could spending that much, but for the shade tree mechanic, you could probably go to your local Home Depot of Lowes Hardware and pick one up for $50.
