The alternator i bought was recommended to me by tech department at powermaster before purchase, it also shows as a "fit to vehicle" at summit when i ordered. So i was unaware of the issue until i received it and was going to mount it...
165(120 at idle) is more than i need at the moment, but when im already changing out all harnesses/upgrading the system i thought i might as well get the bigger one in case, the cost difference was not too much.
I guess the best solution will be to order another one that fit my bracket. Just a shame to spend approx 500 usd incl shipping & tax on a part i can't use. Will probably go for the tuff stuff alternator that another member here recommended me earlier.
I’m noticing you are in Norway.
There is a German distributor for the PowerMaster 7019
Alternator Mopar 95 Amp till 1969 round back, dual Pulley, 298,88 €
I bet your car won’t need more than 65 amps at iddle IF is fairly stock with just some upgrades.
Is not straight ONE WIRE alt like the one you got (later GM design alt), but is ready to be used with later factory dual field setup electronic Mopar regulator. If you want to use the factory reg for 68 one field setup, just will need to reuse the factory grounded brush you already have on your stock alt or ground one of the brushes that one gets.
To “become it” into one wire alt, small mounted on regs are available. These are the ones used on most Mopars “one wire” conversions alts available. Same shop get those
Voltage Regulator, 1-wire, 85,87 €
Sure these are cheaper in USA, but as you noticing shippings and taxes kills any deal when shipping to EU, unless you have a diff international carrier service for the overseas ship. (I have one to ship between USA and Venezuela by sea or air, filling containers with lots of diff customers and shipping together).
However I still think that mounted on regulator can be found WAY CHEAPER maybe even on Aliexpress and get it on less than 10-20€ rate. I meant, if you really want a “one wire” alt setup.
(EDITING… so far so good still haven’t found any other seller outside USA for these regs. Buying eBay and Amazon, it seems will be on 50€ rate shipped to Europe… I guess plus customs fees.)
The deal with the alt setup for 69 and laters with A/C brackets setup (like Pnora and 1967Coronet shown) is the diff upper bracket position between A/C and non A/C. When A/C is present, compressor bracket uses the bolts provisions used on non A/C alt brackets, so the Alt bracket had to be moved on to a deeper disposition. This makes the alt front provision mounts IN FRONT of the alt bracket. So even if you want to use the alt you got, get the alt installed like laters setup wouldn’t be possible due the one piece large alt provision for the top mounting design used on these later GM alts (the design of the PowerMaster alt you got)
