How many amps does the AU alternator pump out? Unsure mate, most likely just 110-120. That must be an A/market alternator you have on there now, looks different to any other e-series 5.0 one i've seen.

Very similar "messy" engine bay set-ups we have there, but I did notice that we appear to have the same alternators, I assume they are the stock unit XH5LWEPN??? And i'm sure I've said it before, but that is one very tidy engine bay there XH5LWEPN Nothin pretty about a gas set-up Back to top millard455 Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:24 Posts: 785 Joined: 19 May 2005 Location: naracoorte SA, Australia View User Gallery (29) Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 9:51 am    Post subject: XH5LWEPN wrote: banarcus wrote: Nah mate, the only AU stuff is the inlet manifold and throttle body.
