Default Smallest Internally Regulated Alternator?

Does any body know what car has a very small internally regulated alternator. Im trying to look at alternatives to the Powermaster Supermini. Let me know if any body has any ideas.

whatevery you do, do NOT get a powermaster alternator, or any of their products for that matter

when i had my fox, i went through 2 in 6 months, manufacture failure, on both. the spindle that the pulley bolts too broke, twice. stock tensioner


i had the 140 amp Powermaster, and it was a total peice of shit

and when i was at real speed parts one afternoon, a guy there was on his 3rd powermaster starter in a year, with a supercharged fox


just a little FYI, dont ever buy a powermaster product. i wrote them 3 times, and it took 3 months to get my money back, but again, i did get it back eventually.

the customer service was just as bad, not returning phone calls and all

so there ya have my opinion on powermaster

no problem

once i went to the 94/95 alternator it solved all problems once and for all once i figured out how to rewire it

but i know thats not what you are looking for, so good luck
