Was considering trying this on my 383. Who has the brackets and wiring schematic for this setup? I know the alt has a 3 prong connector and apparently eliminates the VR.

Most of the larger Mopar parts vendors carry that kit. 440Source, Mancini Racing, Hughes Engines, etc.

I have it on my small block, works great. Make sure to not run the sense wire just back to the alt. It confuses the regulator.

Ditto... I picked the alternator and brackets as a kit from Mancini's a few years back for my Eddie headed 360. The 60 amp alternator charges dramatically better than the 73 amp round back I was running. Power seats, locks, windows, an MSD ignition, and subs are no problem.

Also, as said before, run the sense line back to the battery.

That should be fine as long as its on the live side of the relay.

Mine holds a constant 14.5v at the battery, is that overcharging?

Is this really worth doing? I have tons of stuff in my Cuda project. A/C,P/Seats, amp, electric fuel pump, line lock,H1/H4 headlights on relays, etc. I have done the Mad conversion, so I've eliminated the poor original connections, and figured running the headlights on relays would help "free" up some power for the rest.

It's lighter, more compact, and I'm told makes more juice at idle than the old unit.

Yep, the Denso units put out a bunch more amps at idle than the Mopar design. I switched over to the Denso unit (Toyota 4Runner) several years ago on my car and the difference was quite noticeable.

So where did you guys run the 3 wires too? And must it be 3? I have a 2 wire plug that's why I'm asking?

Just wanted to say I have the exact same setup from 440 source on my 440. The alternator is originally off an early 90's 4Runner I believe.

In my opinion its 100% worth the upgrade. Less weight over the nose of the car. Smaller more compact unit that frees up space underhood. Much more reliable part instead of the 40 Year old original units. Much steadier output at idle.

I love this conversion.

I also did the headlight relay conversion. That is worth doing too. I HATE electrical issues. So I want to have a bulletproof electrical system as possible.
