Last year I was having problems with all my lights flickering and dancing. You can read more in this thread; https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...me-inside.html

So I think I have come to the conclusion that my alt. is going bad. What should I replace it with?

Right now my radio is all STOCK.. and I have a Red Top Optima..


Thanks

Yep. Be prepared to replaced the exciter wire too. Mine broke the first time around and they are pretty fragile wires in general. It will save you another headache down the road.

What is the stock amperage on my stock alt?

105 amps stock. I just did mine and had a rewind shop totally rebuild it for $75 which was half the $$$ of AZ, Advance etc.... I unbolted it and supprted with one hand so I could turn it to get to the plug. There is also a small wire held on by a small bolt on the back IIRC. I have a big front sway bar and dropping it out the bottom once it was loose was a bit of a puzzle but it finally cleared the sway on far driver side. I have an oversize radiator that may have made this a little harder..... All in all 10-15 minutes once the car was in the air. And don't forget to disconnect the battery......

three bolts hold it on...remove the acc. belt...then the 3 bolts...then the wires...not that hard man...this is basic stuff...
