Hey guys, New to the forum and so far it's been a great resource for me so thanks.
I just picked up a 1963 Ford Falcon Wagon ( econoline ) and the motor is a 170ci with auto trans. Everything runs and shifs fine and although its a pretty weak motor it gets around town for my daughter just fine. In the near future I am planning on rebuilding a 200ci to drop in to give it a little more HP but for now it does the job.
My problem is that since I am new to the Ford inline 6 family I am learning on the fly. I recently installed a decent little sound system in it and my fear were realized that the generator will not keep up with the draw of the 2 amps that I installed.
So i am looking to replace the generator with an higher amp alternator.
QUESTIONS:
1. what alternators will be a direct bolt in without too much modification to the mounts and/or are there mounting kits that directly bolt on.
2. Can someone send a link or two of which alternators will fit and where to buy them.
3. Is there anyone in the Temecula San Diego Riverside Area that has done this and would be willing to help me on my first project? I will pay for labor.
Thanks in advance
