<VV> alternator swap

[henry kaczmarek]

Why stop at 63 Amps?   If you're planning to run modern stereo with 
amplifiers, etc or any other devices, You can go Higher.

My 65 Monza is equipped with a 78 Amp GM SI series alternator, I just told 
them to give me one for a 79 Impala with small block.  Did the conversion 
wiring changed the faceplate, fan and pulley, and I can run just about 
anything I want without any issues.
