It claims "35 amp / 1975 Honda alternator is said to weigh ~ 6 lbs." and he
gives a good argument for the "55 amp NipponDenso ('85 Civic)"

Dale,
I remember the post that you mentioned and that is why I pulled the
alternator off the '79 Civic.  I suspect that air conditioned cars use
a higher capacity alternator and that is what I weighed.  Thanks for
the feedback.
