Yes that was the main reason for the swap, i would like to put a new stereo
in. The car is not complete enough to worry about restoring it as a
stocker, so im making it a neat, fun and reliable car. Im also going to put
in 100w halogens so id like a newish alternator to keep things reliable.
Thanks
