alternator amperage question

For the life of me I can't find any info on the actual out put of the 2.3 turbo engines amperage.  I need to get a new voltage regulator but without the correct amerage it won't be much help. any ideas of where to look?  Thanks!

the procedure above is for a swap into an 86-93  Th only difference is yours is a v-belt and will probably require a different bracket.

I just got finished with the swap (literally),and it seems great.I haven't been able to drive it yet,but I let it run for about 15 minutes,checked the lights and so on.I'll drive to work in the morning for a real test.It was actually very easy,and not very time consuming.

You need the bracket from a Mark VII, they used the "big" 100a alt...

Just do the 130amp conversion, its very easy once you figure out the wiring that needs to be messed with

I could probably do the conversion in a half an hour if i were to do it again
It's Gumby's fault.
