Hey Kyle,

Haven't seen anyone respond to this one yet, so I thought I'd get out the
service manual and look it up. This is from the '95 manual, but I would
guess that Nippondenso part numbers are consistent across the years.

This is what I have:
Part # Rating
53008646 75A
53008647 90A
53008651 120A

I have a keen interest in this topic ever since I looked up the amperage
draw for electric self-recovery winches (300A). I also have the 75A
alternator, looks like I'll be upgrading that at the same time I put the
winch on.
