Is there a way to tell how big of an Alt you have? I know I have an external regulator and that is about it.

There are two ways to tell. The hard way is to remove it and test it for maximum output current. The easy way is to look for the plate that is attached to the outside of the housing. Manufacturers of alternators conspire to always place the plate in such a way so as to make it as difficult as possible to see while just peering in to the engine bay. Stick your phone down under the alternator and snap a few pics from beneath. Then Google the model number of the alternator and it will give you the specs.
