My credo
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
Ok, so my buddy who is helping me put this Bronco together said there are kits available to up the amps of the stock alternator from the stock 40Amp to upwards of 100amps by replacing things like the regulator and other bits and pieces.

I'm having some trouble finding these kits. Does anyone know where I can get a hold of one of these kits? I really can't spend large amounts of money on a high output alternator.

I'd try to get a 3g alt, you can get a 95 or 130 amp version. They are very easy to wire up, most difficult thing is swapping the pulley from serpentine to v belt.
