<VV> High Capacity Alternators

[Joel McGregor]

Lower charge rate is easier in the battery and belt also.
This is a 37,000 mile car I'm keeping fairly original.

,,,,,Unless you've got a car amp/speaker setup designed to rock the world why would you need an alternator with more than 70 to 80 amps common to GM cars of the 70s.  Larger capacity also means more load on the engine when charging.

Quadruple? You might be overstating your case. Double I would believe.
Stock: 37 amp
Double: 74 amp
Quadruple: 148 amp

Not many 70s/80s Chevys had 150 amp alternators.
