used to that it would be stamped on the alternators...some would have it on a label too.

thanks guys. i'll make a long story short. i just had a local guy rebuild me one. afterwards he said he supplied me with a 95 amp one. after i installed it i heard a little whine coming from it. the rebuilder said no problem bring it back and i'll give you another. i'm not sure what my original one was but i'm going to ask him to replace this one with a 155 amp one.
