be sure to add it at the starter relay and not inside the car, as it would have to go through the bulkhead connections and that's not good. They are wimpy enough to begin with.
Except those of us with a 1965. The engineers were smart enough to use dedicated lugs for the big wires that year only. A bean counter must have nixed the design later.
The squareback alternator (isolated field) does output a bit more current, but for most people the older round-back is fine. I have used one in my 65 Newport for 20 years, with TBI, electric fuel pump, and AC. No electric fan though. The only time it failed to keep the battery charged was when one of the diodes inside failed so wasn't outputing spec current. The square-backs are easier to fix. I got real used to replacing the high-side diodes in the one in my 82 Aries since they vaporized every few years. An auto electric shop told me that was a common problem. Might have been due to the transverse engine orientation.
If anybody really thinks they need more current, PM me. I want to unload a rebuilt 110 A Mopar alternator I got on ebay. It is supposed to bolt up directly. You can see one in the Autozone website. It is much larger and heavier than I imagined from the photo, maybe 50% bigger than stock. I wouldn't even put the beast in my Newport. I think they were used in trucks, maybe with winches and other accessories. I'll take a loss to get it off my shelf.
