The 120 amp alternators are REALLY expensive, I would only buy one if you
had a lot of stereo stuff you were powering. Otherwise, stick with the 90
amp.
Oh, I would deffinitly have the alternator checked by an auto-electric shop
before you shell out for a new one.... They can rebuild them for a lot less
than buying a new one.
