130 amps is about the limit on a single V belt, and you have to have the belt really tight. Slippage and squealing can be a problem.

I would go with the 120 amp denso from a police duty Diplomat. Ive used these on 3 different cars without any issues. They are externally regulated. The stock voltage regulator on your car will control it perfectly, or later when you go with The Dominator system, you could control it with that. You could create a table to output higher or lower output in the advanced tables depending on any input the ecu can read.

Let me sell you the Holley stuff. Check out my Mopar CNP stuff on my site under products.
I like the Denso alternators. One of my favorites is the race Powermaster 8142 That's the plan man. I'll take a look at the 8142. After talking with my old boss, a retired SCCA Trans Am racer, he said most of the cars he had worked on had Denso power. Very few still used the CS series GM alternators. I'm really excited to get the Holley dash. '66 Charger gauge cluster has been a PITA for my entire ownership of the car. A couple of hard launches and the electroluminescent or whatever they are called lights would develop a circuit disruption due to dash flex (my hypothesis). Then of course you get shocked with 200+ VAC trying to sort the issue out. No more of that distraction to going fast lol.

Did they make a Dippy in 90? My last one was a Slinger Stinger lol. Thanks for the advice sir!

130 amps is about the limit on a single V belt, and you have to have the belt really tight. Slippage and squealing can be a problem. That was my next question! I was contemplating running a 4S pulley if I can find a single in the Mopar damper pattern. I'd rather spend the time to set up a serpentine than deal with premature bearing failure due to over-tightening the belts to keep everything kosher. The local parts store guys used to groan when we brought in reman stockers that killed the bearings because we kept them TIGHT to keep the belts at RPM. Never had much of an issue until we exceeded 6500ish RPM now that I think about it.

Want to sell that MagnaFuel500 pump? If so let me know. I might have a 300 if you can use it. My red car left-overs will migrate to the black 440 -1 powered, lenco 4-speed Charger over time. I was trying to keep that build old school with the t-ram, carbs, etc. Never thought I'd be calling my QF 1050-AN's old school but they are. Does anyone have experience with the 440 source serpentine pulleys? I'd like to install the six rib setup on a Powermaster or Denso unit. Question on the Powermaster stuff - is it made in the USA and do they make their own components? I'd lean that way over a 120A Denso as the units listed are Chinese reproductions. I didn't see any actual OEM Denso manufactured unit. I will definitely be going with an external regulator unless there is a reason not to. Is there one?

451Mopar, is that alternator internally or externally regulated? I prefer internally regulated just to clean up the wiring some, and not have to mount the external voltage regulator somewhere. I also prefer a 3 wire, not a one wire. They provide a dash light if desired, and an exciter wire at the alt, not having to sense the voltage drop at the battery.
