Re: Alternator for GC galant
I second that... you can always get something from an auto sparky. Mine's been upgraded to a 55A unit, which is a nice improvement on the original, but you can of course go much bigger, depending on what you're planning on running. It's worthwhile thinking about the kind of load you want to pull (and think about everything running at once, stuff like thermo fan, ignition electronics (if you have power tranies, etc), lights, high-beams, and obviously stereo gear. Go a bit over what you expect your load to be, but there's also no sense in going too nuts
Either way, it should be a relatively easy process. And as Ozdusterdave says, Bosch do make nice gear

Classic! I guess they don't want to commit to anything before seeing what they're up against. Really, it's just a matter of giving them the alternator (so they can match up the casing, etc), and telling them the amperage you want. If you can't get the car to them, they should be able to work with that.

I vaguely remember something in the vicinity of a couple of hundred, but that was years ago, and my memory is very hazy! Anyone else have a more up-to-date idea?
