my alternator is almost totally gone at times it quits charging then will
start charging again. i bought a nicely rebuilt alternator from Ebay for a
fraction of what auto parts stores charge. it's for a 92-95 civic though and
my civic is an old 1988 one. the 92-95 alternators are rated at 70amps the
88-91 civic alternators are rated at 60amps. i know already that they mount
up the same and even the 3 groove pulley doesnt matter because the 2 groove
belt on my civic with not slip using only 2 of the grooves on the different
alternator pulley. what i want to know is what effect the different
alternator would have on my engine. will it be overcharging by charging too
much at idle speed or will it go lower to what my engine requires and not
overcharging? if anyone has info or experience with this let me know.

thanks,
