In my van I spin two alternators. One for the vehicle (stock) and one for the toys (200 amp).
My van is a 1988 Chevy Astro. 4.3L V6 Engine.
I removed all of the Air Conditioning components which created a perfect spot for a second alternator.
The aftermarket alternator is the same shell as a stock alternator but it is pushing out 200 amps. (supposedly)
It mounts up fairly easily with only a little modification to the left side. This could probably be done differently but this is how I chose to do it.
I welded on a small metal tab for the left side to bolt up to.
The tab I added is shown in Color for emphasis.
I used the existing A/C bolt to mount the right side of the alternator by throwing in a spacer on the backside to keep it from moving forward and back.
Left=200 amp. Right=Stock.
Piece of cake, right?
The 200 amp alternator was purchased from DB Electrical on Ebay. If I ever find my receipt I'll provide more details such as a URL, price, etc.
