EMPI 75-Amp Alternator Conversion Kit – Black, Internal Regulator (00-9487-0)
Upgrade your classic Volkswagen from a dated generator to a high-output charging system with the EMPI 75 Amp Alternator Kit. It is designed for vehicles running additional electrical loads — high-output ignition systems, modern stereos, or extra lighting — that factory charging units simply can't handle.
Engineered with all-new components, this internally regulated alternator eliminates the need for an external voltage regulator, simplifying your engine-bay wiring. The durable satin black finish gives a modern, "nothing to hide" look that complements black engine tins and custom fabrication. Moving to a 75-amp system delivers consistent voltage and cooler operating temperatures compared to stock.
