[DeTomaso] Alternator Options

[J. Sean Keane]

I just replaced my voltage regulator, and it got me thinking about the 
alternator.  Is the stock 65-amp unit capable of dealing with the 
demands of the electric fans?  I don't know how many amps the fans draw, 
but I suspect it could be a fair bit.  I went looking at the vendors' 
various web sites, but found surprisingly little in the way of 
alternators.  My local O'Reilly auto parts store has a 70-amp unit, but 
that hardly seems like much of an improvement over 65 amps.  What are my 
options for a 100+ amp unit that is a drop-in replacement for the stock 
alternator?  How hard is the three-wire to one-wire conversion if I 
wanted to go that route?  Does someone make an assembly of some kind 
that plugs in to the wiring harness in place of the voltage regulator to 
make the conversion to one-wire easier?  Does that last question even 
make any sense?  Any help is appreciated.
