Wanting to upgrade my alt on my eb v8 ghia,had thermos fitted a few months back and have now just started using the a/c.Normally when the thermos cut in the volts drop to 13 on the gauge but now with the thermos running all the time with the a/c on the volts drop to roughly high 11,s or just under 12 volts.My question is this,can i put in an alt off an ef/l v8 ghia to fix my problem,being as they have thermos and a/c fitted as standard.Or will i have to get my alt modified to put out more amps?

EF/EL 5.0 Alternator will bolt straight on. swine is correct; EF is 110 amp and EL is 100 amp.
The EF has and extra couple of diodes to increase output at higher speeds. |

would an ef alt make any difference to my voltage drop i get when the aircon and fans are constantly on?im not sure what amps it pulls but its about 3 volts,would the extra 15 amps make a difference?

Yes. It's the reason EF/L's get this alternator in the first place. |
