Standard valiant was only 35 amps. The v8 air con cars and late models got the big 55 amper. Yeah 80 amps plus would be more comfortable but wiring upgrade would have to go with it.

It's no big deal to upgrade the wiring just run a bigger wire from the alternator output to the battery. Some alternators also require a battery sensing wire to be added but from memory you can just run a thin wire from the main output to the sensing terminal if you don't want to run it all the way to the battery. Its there to get a more accurate alternator output at the battery. Not the best way but the simplest. I have a car with a 35 amp alternator running Delco with 12P and it works fine. I suppose if I had a few electrical things happening it might not do the job but for me its OK. Keep up the good work we all are following this project closely. I only wish I lived in Melbourne and could drop in and have a look.

Sydney. The net makes it a small world.

Yes I am in Adelaide. Sounds like a good idea but it's hard for me to get away weekends. Many moons would have to align, ha.
