    I used a Sigma alternator at one stage on a 1600. Think they are around 40A though..?

    Need to be careful using a 65A alt with standard Escort wiring. Was not designed for that much amps, and also need to be careful of overcharging of battery.

    all good with the wiring, it will have all new stuff. running sound system and will have small odyssey battery to fire it up but require larger alternator to keep everything running.
