Hi A ll,
I have a 76 vega gt, w/o ps, w/o ac, 5 speed manual trans.
What size alt do I need in amps?
Thanks
Mike

The stock alternator(60a) should be fine unless you have aftermarket amps and subwoofers; in which case there's no such thing as too big!

Unless you have an amp, or a large electric fan (as in my case), you don't need a bigger alternator. I run a Taurus fan, and it killed my alternator in a few weeks. But otherwise, a standard alternator will do you just fine.

NAPA part # 213-4011 should work. Take your old one to be sure, it may be clocked different. You'll need a core anyway. They should also have part # 213-4011B which is clocked different that the 213-4011. They should be about $25-30.
