RE: Alternator upgrade on TQC

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

There is a local (Southern CA)shop that does it, I never used it, but was
told that it's around $200. You can also put a SMALLER pulley on it which
will give you higher capacity at idle and low speed, well worth the effort.
I also have a used alt. that is 110AMP (that is what I was told when I
purchased it), you can have it for $50+shipping.
