Depends on which 100A alternator you are using. If it's a Chrysler one then yes.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

That's a Chrysler 117A unit, works the same.

agreed, read the allpar sheet, you want all your voltage drops minimal (clean all terminals/connections including ground paths & grab your meter). On a side note there are 2 pulley sizes on our alts that I have seen (I forget the measurements) and you might have the larger one & a swap to a smaller one would help (not sure how much) tho it would involve splitting the halves & haveing a shop R&R the old new pulleys. EDIT the one in the pic is that a Leece Neville? I have one of em with the special bracketry for it. MORE EDIT with some easy math you could figure the additional alt speed you would gain from the pulley swap. Then what general RPM "range" are you in now where there is inadequate charging/will the pulley swap get the alt pulley RPM above that & into an "adequate" charging range" for a sufficient % of your driveing time to take care of the issue (& checking/cleaning terminals as needed) or if a better alt is needed. Relays get very good reviews (for heater/headlights/AC). 2&3/4" and 3&3/4" vaguely comes to mind on pulley dia's but I ain't sure.

The alternator pictured is a Leece-Neville, common on cop cars of the sixties/seventies; takes a special regulator.

I ran one of those for a couple years on my 87 Diplomat, retrofitted it, using the normal regulator, worked just fine.

Stacked one atop the other Yes I see it now! & that is good to hear a "regular" reg will suffice. Thank you!

Thanks everyone I am left with more information and still lost? Keep posting with any & all Q's (no matter how mundane) as that is what we (& Moparts) are here for.
