I can't find one company that has a rebuilt 37 amp alt for Dodge/Plymouth 1970-71. There are 45-50 amp alts and 46/60 amp alts all day long. The Advance/Autozone/PepBoys etc parts stores all need a 'current/modern (ie 'their') part number to enter into the alternator testing machine to test old alternator - does anyone know what p/n will cross reference for 1970-71 37 amp alt?

As best I can tell the reason we can't find 'em is because the rating method used by Chrysler and the method used by the aftermarket is different. Look in a Factory service manual and you'll see the rating was for a specific load and rpm. In other words the exact same alternator would be rated 37 amps by Chrysler and 48 amps by ABC Rebuilding Co.
