The Cosmo alternator is rated at 90 A. So it looks like Mazda kept upgrading every few years.

That's because that was the one they had on sale, and I was desperate.
Sure

Yeah, I would like to see one on the car.



I use a FD alt now. I get them at a good price. Factory rebuilt w/ 3 year warranty. $135 Comes with the stock FD pully and bolt.



I can look into getting more, if anybody needs them.



13BAce, what's the part # on that Power Master?

that one bolts right up? It looks like a different design then the stock one.

My idea of bolting up may be different from the average person's. If I remember correctly, I bolted the thick mounting ear(far side) to the water pump and the thin one to the stock bracket. You'll need standard bolts to do it, unless you want to modify the bolt holes of the Powermaster.
