Received my new alternator today. Thanks again to John O. & Kiltman for the link :

The alternator is made in China, but looks like it's a quality unit.
On the Ebay website, the alternator was advertised s a 40 Amp alternator ( OEM rating, I believe ), but when I opened the box there was a test sheet inside and the spline has moly grease on it so it looks like it was actually tested. The test data is : 30 Amps @ 2K RPM, about 42 Amps @ 3K RPM and 54 Amps @ 6K RPM / 694 Watts.
I know the OEM rating is 40 Amps, but now I'm curious as to whether the OEM rating is at 3K RPM and an OEM alternator puts out more than 40 Amps at the higher RPM's ?
I'm happy to know this replacement alternator does.
