Have you ever heard of this problem???

I had that problem when I put a 200w radio in a car that originaly had a 15w radio. Too much load on the alternator killed it.

Do you still have the heat shield on your O2 housing? A lot of people have trouble with altenators after fitting a custom O2 housing. Mando, an OEM manufacturer makes a replacement 90amp altenator,(it is a bit difficult to find a listing but it is available).

The first one fried because there was no heat shield on my stock 02 housing.Now I have one made of aluminium backed by an asbestos sheet.I also taped my downpipe with asbestos tape up to the firewall.But my second alternator dies no longer after I put some high wattage bulb on my car...80W low beam and 100W High beam.According to me it's not overkill for a 75A alternator...but maybe it is!!!What do ya think?uzzled:
