Alternator

Hello, all!!

Is there a direct fit replacement alternator that has more output for the 1977 f150 400 2wd?

What model would I cross reference for a higher output alternator?

Thanks in advance

Yes, there was a high output alternator that came stock with the camper special package.

Someone else is going to have to supply the part number.

I think most auto parts stores have higher output ones that fit.I could be wrong though.

Well, I just went through and replaced every ignition part: Voltage Regulator, Ignition switch, Starter solenoid, recrimped, regrounded everything..... And still no start

I realized that my B&M Shifter's Neutral Safety switch was stuck in (1), I reached down, slid it up to (P) and VWOLA!!

Well, at least I am good to go now for while electrically. Its been a while since I have freshened up the electrical. Been maybe 10 years or more.

I will look into the higher output alternator. I noticed mine is stamped "75A" Is this considered the "High Output"?

Please reply

75A is more than average and more than you'll need unless you have a big sound system or lots of other electrical add-ons. Running your lights, etc. should not draw more than 35 amps or so.
