Hello,

New here, hope I posted this properly. I have a 2003 Convertible GT and it needs an alternator based on smell, sound and what I have read about funny error messages (0340 Camshaft sensor error). My question is simply how many amps (alternator rating) is enough for the convertible? What is the OEM unit rated at in a convertible? I will keep googling but I have yet to find this info. Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't believe the convertibles have anything other than the 105 amp alternator the coupe GT's have...

That's right. 105-110 is all you get stock and the 4v cars didn't get much better. If you want a higher rated one try PA Performance Web site. I bought a 130 amp conversion kit for my old 87' GT from them many years ago and they sell quality stuff.
