Volt meter vs. amp meter & 1 wire alternators

[mjhcobra]

Thanks, that's the list I was looking for.

My car has the following:

2 front fans @ 4 amps = 8 amps
1 fan behind radiator = 20 amps
Instrument panel = 4 amps
Brake lights = 5 amps
Headlights = 10 amps
Holley Red fuel pump = 10 amps
Wiper motor = 10 amps

Assuming that I am stuck in traffic, its raining with wipers on, at night with lights on, and all fans are running-I would be maxed out at 67 amps at an idle. Add 40% more to ensure you have 67 amps at a loaded idle and you get 94 amps.

Does this sound accurate?

I want to use the original alternator and regulator rather than a single wire alternator. Sounds like 95 to 100 amp alternator should cover me with these loads. Anything I should look for in my search for the correct alternator and regulator?

Thanks for the guidance, Martin
