    Upgrading 37amp Alternator to a 50amp?

    Thanks guys for all the help. Turns out my volt reg was bad which is a little strange because it's less than 6 months old?? Anyway, after replacing that I was good to go for the cruise/show this weekend!

    Upgrading 37amp Alternator to a 50amp?

    67Dart273, thanks for your help/patience. As you can see, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this wiring stuff. I do have the earlier ('61-69) volt regulator installed (ordered it from Year One, part RX346). Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the rubber boot I can send you because the...

    Upgrading 37amp Alternator to a 50amp?

    Guys, Have a '67 Notch and my alternator went out. I know the stock rating was 37amps but would like to upgrade to a 50amp if there are not going to be any wiring issues (fire hazard, melting wires/harness, etc)? I'm assuming just going up 13 amps over stock, I should be fine but just wanted...
