Williams.

williams/16v are '60/70A'
172s are 110A...
What happens if you fit a 110A alternator?
it runs at less load (so may be more efficient? :P) - voltage regulator keeps things in check
I've got a 172 alt on mine and it's fine :)
that explains why my 19 16v has a 60amp alternator on it :P
thanks all .
Think 110's were fitted on some foreign cars that had more electrical equipment fitted than our cars.
as far as i'm aware thats why they are listed...

I was under the impression that the williams needed a 90 amp alternator. This is the one I put on. Works well.
