Hey guys,
I'm adding A/C to my Charger and the current alternator seems to struggle to produce 12 volts at idle. It is a 2 groove with a 2 3/4" pulley. It was a parts store rebuild from a few years ago. I don't have electric fans or a big stereo but the battery is in the trunk. I have a ground from the block to frame and battery to frame. The underhood harness is new. I would expect a stock alternator would be enough but unless this alternator is underperforming, I need something more.
A buddy likes to use the compact Toyota based alternators. Also, Some late 80s Mopars used a small unit, maybe made by Nippendenso? I'd need a 2 groove for use with the 2 groove A/C pump I'm going to use. I don't know if the Toyota and Mopar alternators were both made by Nippendenso or not.
I looked at a Flaming River alternator....Holeee CRAP...$650 for an alternator??
I am not interested in the 1970s basketball sized alternator, thank you.
What did you guys do for improved output ?
