Title: range rover alternator output
Post by: j.stobart on January 01, 2008, 21:41:27: Hi all I am selling an alternator from a V8 Range Rover Classic 3.9efi on ebay, and someone has asked if I can confirm whether it has a 90 amp output, I am sure I have read somewhere this is correct would anyone be able to confirm this for me?

The '93 SE had a 100 amp unit fitted with a different blet arrangement, the alternator driven direct from the crank via a flat multi vee belt.

My '94 soft dash has a serpentine belt and 100 amp unit with 4 mounting lugs.
