160 amps is more than ample to run a 100 amp inverter.. what you need to look at is the required input amperage of the inverter and compare that to what's present in the circuit it's wired/plugged into. In most cases, you should be able to run up to a 400 amp inverter plugged into a 12v outlet, but again, you need to make sure.

What alternator is good for a Chevy Chevelle?
a 1 wire 100 amp alternator.
What amp alternator is standard for a 92 Chevy conversion van?
100 or 105 amp.
How do you tell what alternator you have whether it is 100 amps or 1900 amps?
Well, if the alternator is on any type of vehicle that has been made within the last 100 years, it will be the 100 amp alternator. There is no such thing as a 1900 amp alternator for a car. The highest I have seen is about 150 amps, and that is a heavy-duty truck alternator.
What size alternator do you need with a 1000watt inverter with a 1999 ford e-150 4.2 liter?
A quality 1000 watt Inverter could be expected to require about 84 amps at 12V. If we figure that the charging system is going to be operating at about 13.8V this figure could drop to about 75 amps (considering conversion inefficiencies). If we then consider that the truck electrical system will require some current just to keep the truck running, say 25 amps, then we'll need an electrical budget of at least 100 amps. So if you plan to use your inverter for a continuous application then you'll need a 100 amp alternator otherwise you'll slowly discharge your battery. If for example you had a smaller 75 amp alternator then you would be draining the difference (25 amps in this case), from your battery. Since most quality automotive starting batteries have an RC (Reserve Capacity), of less than 120 minutes at a 25 amp draw you'd drain your battery in less than 2 hours. Keep in mind that nearly all alternators do not provide full rated amperage at idle. A 100 amp alternator is likely to be pumping out only 75 amps at idle. For a continuous use inverter application I'd play it safe and install at least a 120 amp alternator minimum.
What is the stock alternator on an Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra 1989?
Check your RPO codes. If it has K60 then you have a 100 amp alternator.
Where is the alternator fuse on 96 ford escort?
The main fuse (100) amp is in the fusebox in the engine compartment.
What amp alternator is in a 1995 ford explorer XLT?
I believe that is a 95 amp alternator on the XLT
What amp alternator fits a 1997 ford explorer XLT?
I believe that is a 95 amp alternator on the XLT ( 130 amp on the Limited )
What size wire to use for 100 amp service 160 feet from the power pole?
AWG 4 copper.
How can you tell a 105 amp from a 130 amp alternator in a 2002 Tahoe?
Look at the back of the alternator, particularly the black plastic cover on the back. The black plastic cover on a 105 amp alternator will have a small opening divided into three parts. The 130 amp alternator will have multiple openings.
How do you find out which alternator is in a 1999 Chevy Tahoe LT?
The amp rating for the alternator is printed or stamped on the exterior of the alternator case. It is the numerical ampere rating followed by the letter 'A', ie, '100A' would represent a 100 ampere rated alternator.
Can you replace a 90 amp alternator with a 110 amp alternator?
yes you will get more amp cranks out of it and for dodge ram wont do anything bad but good for your truck
