TT;

I suggest you don't install a "95 Volt" Alternator...most other components in your electrical system wouldn't survive it...if you meant 95 AMP, I wouldn't recommend this either...in that case, if you could(?), and were to swap the pulleys for a V belt type, the water pump will not be long for this world! If you currently have a 30 A unit and want to to bit better (double), install an exact replacement Bosch 60A unit...these are available...another less costly option is my upgrade kit based on the (60A)American ACDelco units.
