In my '68 cutlass LS1/4L60 I’m adding heated seats. I'm wondering if the alternator will keep up. I'm guessing it will, but here are the details. I'd appreciate input with more knowledge than I.
2002 pull-out from a WS6. I believe it’s a 105 Amp alternator. Does that sound right? Its stock.
Current electric consumption: Headlights, Cooling fans, 225 fuel pump & heater fan. That’s the extent that consumes much.
I'm adding 5 heated seats. Both front seats & three spots in back. Each can consume 5 amps on high. That totals new 25 amp draw.
I 'spose I could turn this stuff on and use an amp meter to find the loads but the electrical system is currently partially apart.
Opinions?
