do most 1991 80s have the 80 amp alternator?what is the best way to remove and replace this alternator?thanks

80amps is what mine does after 3000 rpm.

Removal is not bad...disconnect the battery first.

1. remove the bolt, nut and air pump stay.
2. them at the alternator remove the adjusting lock bolt, 2 bolts and adjusting bar.
3. remove the pivot nut and pull the alternotor out.

First time I did it was on a road trip in front of the parts store in the middle of New Mexico in August. I was happy they had one. (it lasted 13 months)
...anyway I was parked in the shade no more than two hours.

good luck
