Alternator options, small block mopar

awr68cuda · 03-19-2009, 10:01 AM

I am going to be running F/SA with a 340 mopar. I would like to here what some guys run for alternators. Good/Bad, cost effective and high dollar. Are there any tricks with belts or pulleys, etc?

I use the East Coast auto electric Ultra mini 55 amp alternator on almost all the cars I build.....I've had one on one of my cars for 7 years with no problems. ..... It fits almost anywhere,and it has an ignition activation option that allows it to be turned off when desired {like a heads up run} . ....John and Chuck are good guys to deal with. .....Tom

I have a Power Master #8172 on my 340 Duster, it comes with a V pulley and has a built in regulator so it can be set up as a one wire. Just follow the directions and take the old Mopar voltage regulator out. I used some of the factory brackets and made up some spacers to get it lined up right, found the right length belt and it works great. In '05 it cost $175 from Summit, may be more now. It was 6lbs lighter than a stock one and it can handle the 7000 engine rpm it see's and it seems to charge good at low rpm's.
