I have all new wiring in my car now. I do have the ammeter bypassed under the dash. The terminals are bolted together and wrapped tightly in electrical tape.
The reason I was thinking about the 80 was I don't know if electric fans would be in the future or not.
If I stayed with the 60 would I have the dimming of lights and so forth?
I don't have the original regulator but I am sure they are easy enough to get!
So I guess the 80 would be overkill??!!



If you already bypassed the ammeter, adding the 80 amp alternator with a jumper wire from the alternator to the battery stud on the relay would be a good upgrade. Output at idle should be better than what you have... although even uprated versions of the traditional MOPAR alternator aren't the best at idle.
