Risks of Running High Amp Alternator?
Most alternators don't put out a lot of amperage at idle including the Denso and after market rewound Mopar style ones. You definitely want to run any increased load to an under hood distribution point with proper fusing and relays.
I upgraded to a rewound CS 144 with a dual heavy duty bridge rectifier. It puts out over 140 amps at idle and over 200 amps at a fast idle. It bolted right on with a simple bracket although I did have to adjust my belt path slightly.
Here's a picture of the alternator mounted above my A/C compressor on the RB in my '70. The same shop sells the adapter bracket.
