Interested in this alternator. Please PM contact information to discuss; want to ensure it will work on my application. Thanks.
what application are you looking to install it on, this was off of a toyota 3tc engine..
I have a 1981 Toyota Corolla hardtop with a 3TC engine. I am looking into a higher amp alternator (140amp) to see if it works. I will re-visit with you if I am not successful with the higher amp installation. Thanks.

140 amp, you must have a hella stereo system. Ok let me know how that works out for you.

Quick question Mike,
I have the same alt in my 81 starlet.
At idle 800 rpm it puts out 11volts once it hits 1200 rpm it jumps to 14Volts.
Never used this alt before always did the rx7 alt... Belt is nice and tight...
What do you think can be the problem?????

You need to hit the RMP before it start charging
