look in the factory service manual, then compare your sticker to the numbers

It took me a while to figure out which one I had... My sticker was on the back of the alternator, and it was kind of hard to see until I got a light and a mirror.

I believe the largest alternator that was offered from the factory was the 136 amp.

120 amp fuse was used with the 117 amp alternator.
I haven't looked at others than mine but I believe the fuse rating was slightly greater than the alt. rating.
Also bigger wire with the higher rated alt.
