I'd like to upgrade the alternator on my street/strip small block 69 Dart. Currently I'm running a square back two field and would like to up grade this winter while I'm finishing up my new engine build. the car has a Magnafuel 275 pump and a Digital 6 ignition, no electric fan or water pump but would like to have some extra capacity if I want to upgrade later.

What's a good simple alternator up grade?

Thanks.

Use the Denso mounting kit. You can either buy a new Denso alternator or find one in a wrecking yard or alternator place.

I am using a GM CS130 alternator. It is one of the best things I have ever done to my car no questions. It charges at 14.5-14.7 with a 5" crank pulley at idle. I have electric fans(2) WP, and Fuel Pump.

I am running it to a continuous duty relay so my kill switch will work and it feeds into my power distribution point. I have been real happy with how it has all worked.

HOLY COW!!! I could run all the accessories on any Mopar that I have and do some welding on the side with one of those...but, I can't see it for a once a month bracket beast. I will start haunting the local yards for a Denso.

my street/strip 'cuda uses a Tuff Stuff alternator. looks factory, mounts on the same brackets & connects to the factory regulator & pumps out 100 amps so it charges up quickly. no complaints from me.

This is what I get with Chrome. I even turned my firewall off, still won't open. shruggy

works fine for me from different computers as well as on my phone. You might have something cached in your router that is causing the problem.
