What is the correct alternator for a 1981 Ford Fairmont



6 cyl 3.3 L. auto transmission. No air conditioning. No large audio amp or anything like that. Nothing extra.

Listed is a 60 amp and a 100 amp alternator.



Hypothetically say my vehicle requires the 60amp alternator, what problems if any will I create if I install the 100 amp one if it fits physically.



Will I overcharge the battery?



Thanks in advance Denny B


No, you'll just spend more money, if it fits.

No. From the information given, you don't even need the 100 amp.
