Re: IML: 1969 replacement alternator options.

[Henry Thurston <drac_henry@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dwain,
Not sure if this will help but I was able to use a 70s
alternator on my '63 Dart. The alternators are almost
the same but the early ones had a prong on one brush
while the other brush was grounded. Later alternators
had a prong on both brushes. I compaired the two and
grounded one brush on the later alternator, connected
the other prong to the single field wire and it worked
great!

I did this because the later alternator was 60 amp.
After the swap, my car was charging great even when
stopped in gear with the lights on. It was still
working fine when I sold the car years later.
