What are the chances that the alternator is bad? 99% to 1% that it isn't.

Good luck with the project.

Yeah, it sounds like Im going to need a new alternator... I wonder if I can upgrade it and get a bigger capacity alternator... I run a couple amplifiers for my sound system and I'll install a carputer any time soon... I even tought of using two batteries at some point....

Are there any alternator upgrades available for the SVX?? Or a brand new one would be good enough???

I wonder if those misfiring problems I had were caused by the alternator too....
