Understanding Muscle Car Alternators

You like it when your engine stays running while you’re driving, right? Well, you can thank your muscle car’s alternator for that because it powers electrical systems, charges the battery, and much more. Once your battery starts the engine, the alternator kicks into gear and begins supplying power. Alternators can generate electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetism. While OEM alternators tend to last for around seven to ten years, or 80,000 to 150,000 miles, it's not uncommon for them to fail, and you'll notice issues like power fluctuations, poor acceleration, and issues keeping your car engine running. Basically, the worst possible problem for a muscle car to have. OEM alternators for your muscle car tend to be more powerful than your average alternator but that doesn't mean they're perfect. If you plan on adding more power or accessories to your engine, for example, you may need to upgrade to a high-performance alternator to handle the new power needs. The good news is that plenty of aftermarket alternators are available to help you maximize your build.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Muscle Car Alternator

Even though it’s not flashy, installing an aftermarket alternator is a great way to preserve the rest of your build and ensure that your engine is running smoothly with all those new bells and whistles you plan on installing. The biggest benefit of upgrading your muscle car’s alternator is that high-performance alternators offer better amperage, last longer, and can support more accessories. Upgrading your muscle car’s alternator is also a great way to ensure that the power output across all your engine systems is consistent. If you don't feel like dealing with power fluctuations and acceleration issues, it may be time to swap out your OEM alternator for an aftermarket alternative. When upgrading your alternator, it's also a good idea to upgrade the supporting case. This includes belts, the battery, and other electrical parts that are responsible for powering your engine. Whether you need a new OEM alternator to get your muscle car running again, or you’re on the hunt for the perfect racing alternator, you’re right where you need to be. Order new muscle car alternators online and have them sent right to your door with convenient shipping options.
