hey all, my 1973 swinger is in need of upgrading my alternator. I have a 95 amp chrome power master, dual v pulley.... works, but not enough amps anymore, I have since redone the car an now uses dual electric fans, a/c, h4 headlamps, fob ignition, stereo, etc......
small block with factory a/c and alt. brackets, now, anyone been using the gm Delco as advertised 1 wire 220amps on e-bay? not the cheepies, I mean. I spoke with power master today, and tech stated that the mopar square back I have can only be upgraded to 95 amps, tops. and said they use a DR44G ...LS gm alternator from pre-2005. trucks, and use mopar big block brackets with mild mods, and fits well. and they up the windings and add v- pulley on it. I happen to have one of these needing a rebuild, but curious what others have been doing, the mopar 120amp from Dakota etc. isn't enough oomph to keep my dual yellow optima batteries charged... with all on it, and yes the wiring is upgraded to (0) gauge batt. cables, and (2) gauge charging wire( fused) not in pass though either.
my other possible option is the ford 3g unit spun to 250 amps and is front he ford 3.8, etc or truck motors. and would need a v-pulley as well. , and please no ford/chevy bashing, mopar just doesn't have one that is reliably priced, that amps to 200 plus range that is not pulse width modulated by a computer that I can find... I do like the idea of internal fan too.
