105 Amp Alternator Upgrade Repair Kit

[rtee007]

Has anyone used this 105amp upgrade kit? can I get some reviews if you have?
Here is the info from the vendor:

CHRYSLER ALTERNATOR 105-AMP UPGRADE KIT Fits the (square back revised) Chrysler alt. with eyelets on stator leads, stepped stator core, and bolt in rectifiers, from 35 to 65 amps., single and double pulleys, used on Chrysler cars, light trucks, Omni, Horizon, industrial, marine and other applications from 1972-1986.

We need a link and a website. Frankly, I'd be skeptical. "Upgrading" one of these older designs to nearly double it's output is a major design change.

The other burning question is "why do you need this?" Most people..........don't.

Last, if you have not upgraded the wiring substantially in your old girl, IE bulkhead connector, ammeter, and, really a whole different harness and wiring strategy, piggybacking something this big to an old girl will soon leave you with problems.

The wiring is no issue, it us all being upgraded. My rebuilder assures me these stock alternators can be upgraded to produce more amperage. I will get them to fix me one up and I will test it out.

I had the local auto electric guy rebuild and rewind mine to 105 amp. Then I got scared and didn't put it on. All new harness' and relays in the headlights but still got nervous. I think he charged me $100.00? If you do it, run a shunt from the alternator to the battery side of the relay. In theory, if the battery is low and requires a lot of amps to re feed it, that's where you get in trouble. A shunt, again, in theory will take the major portion of the load required to the battery? just my .02

Roger that sir.

I recall such upgrades being common in the J.C. Whitney catalogs before the internet. Might be one of those. I recall they put in larger stator windings and bigger diodes. "Should work" if your car's wiring can handle the output (clean connectors, or ammeter bypass - Mad Electrical or my shunt diode design). But, as mentioned, you may not need more output. If your alternator is keeping the battery charged, it is doing its only job.

Currently out of stock, of course they took my money and didn't notify me it was OOS. I called and they offered me a refund.
I asked, "how long before you are restocked", and the answer was (as always) "next week", this next week and I am still waiting.

I sure hate to go the GM route.....the bracket is the main issue with that.

What is the story on a Powermaster#7419 (natural finish one groove pulley, there are a couple others but they seem to be chrome plated and or single pulley and serpentine belt)) 90amp one wire made in a Mopar housing? Shows to fit our cars.
