installing a 100amp alternator

Gentlemen, thank you for your feed-back. I bought the alternator from "Parts Train". Here is a link to the part.

It is supposed to be a "direct fit", but it is not. I have 2 solutions ; find a 100amp alternator for my car or the mounting hardware for this one. I'm indifferent between the 2 solutions because I must spend money either way, but I prefer to take the advice from this community rather than rely on the claims of vendors.

In either case I would appreciate a link to a vendor. A breaker's yard is not a good option. I live in France and we don't have many old Mopars in breaker's yards.


The wiring has already been upgraded to cope with the amperage.


I need a 100amp alternator because I have a great deal of non-factory electrical and electronic equipment on my car, including an electric radiator fan that draws 27amps at full power. My Valiant also has 4-wheel disc brakes, 4 wheel coil springs with adjustable dampers and rack & pinion steering, so it's not very original. My apologies to those among us who are purists..
