There are kits to rebuild vintage alternators to 100 amp, but I don't know about the external regulated system being capable of that. Internal, easy. Early 70's Cadillac's and Buick's came with 90 amp alternators for all the power equipment and A/C already being installed back then. The early internal alts look enough like the external alts to not really be noticeable, except to the people who know these cars very well. You leave the regulator on the core support and use 1 jumper wire to, effectively, bypass the regulator.



Having worked in automotive A/C and been trained, I don't see how you would ever get the temp of the gas down enough to turn back to liquid with the condenser behind the radiator, that air is just too hot. It needs to be the first thing the air hits and, like Lynn said, it needs the proper space to the radiator for that to cool enough to not overheat too.


I'm with Big Gear Head, no Lithium-ion batteries in ANYTHING I own.
