I used a 65 amp alternator with the correct round back on my 68' Coronet. Big difference, virtually no dimming of the lights. The alternator I used was one from a 72' Chrysler Neuport. That year Neuport used the round back alternator which is correct for your 69' Coronet. You'll love the improvement.

Eliminate the factory connector terminal and wire it solid. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

More grounds the better. I did these to my car I wish I know about this repair in the 80's. it made a big difference Joe

Dual & if purchasing one I'd go ahead & get the 78 amp one from an 85 M body & as you know just ground one field terminal if using an earlier type reg live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

If the updated harness has the triangle plug for the flat reg (& I would think that it would) & this is going into an earlier car that had a box reg FYI you can trim the sides & redrill 1 mounting hole on a flat 70 up reg & it will nestle neatly into the firewall recess where the box reg once resided. That way you wouldn't have to cut the harness if it's setup for the flat reg. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I was going to try to 'hide' the electronic box under the battery tray. But then I figured it had the wrong alternator and voltage regulator on it, so why bother?
