My alternator is dead...The Car has a stock L24 with triple Webers, custom headers etc(if that matters)....I will buy a brand new alternator...Question is, which brand do you recommend? Thanks...

Zmanco Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 If you have to buy a new alternator anyway, I'd suggest you upgrade to a later model with internal voltage regulator and more capacity. I originally used the 280zx (80-83) which gives another 10 amps IIRC, but after installing fuel injection needed more. I'm now running a 90 Maxima with 90 amps output. Another popular one is the GM 1 wire. The nicest thing is these higher output alternators have no problem putting out enough at low rpm that my headlights barely dim at idle. Search here and on the web and you'll find a bunch of writeups with detailed instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogriz91 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 There's a guy near Seattle who sells alternators with internal voltage regulators for 240s...should be able to do a search and find him pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
