Okay boys and girls...gonna show my hand here. Total ignorant when it comes to electrical stuff. But, from what I hear...gotta have it.
Question is this. Have a 69 model 440 motor, in a 64 model Plymouth, with stock 64 wiring. Round back alternator that came on the 69 motor. Alternator was working great, but looked like crap, so had a rebuilder go through it, clean it up.
Alternator is an 80 amp! Going by my manuals (yeah, I can even read), even on the high side for 69 model B-bodies, seems a 75 amp is the norm.
Will I be okay with the 80 amp? That along with a stock 64 mechanical voltage regulator. Kinda understand that the VR keeps things at bay, long as it's working right.
