WOULD THIS 100 amp alternator work
So I fond someone that restores dashes on old Mopars , here is a run down onwhat I was told , sounds good to me , let me know what you think ,
"For the 70 Rallye dash the electronic limiter is found inside of the gas gauge. Most other cars has this as a stand-alone plug in module but for this dash they built it into the fuel gauge.
All limiter both old and new style take 12 v and reduce it to 5v. The original one is electromechanical and works a bit like a 4 way flasher with a heating coil and bitmetalic strip. It is prone to failure (only a matter or when it fails, not if) and when it fails it sends a solid 12v to the gauge wires which burns one or more of them out. The electronic limiters have temperature protection and shut down if there is a problem. The only issue with a body clusters is that your metal frame has to have a good ground as electronics are sensitive to grounding problems. If assembled correctly this should not be an issue.
We replace a lot of ammeter wires when we rebuild dash harnesses. We even have two or three potmetal cluster frames where there is a half inch hole where there should be metal behind the ammeter. Ammeters can be "fireproofed"
BTW gauges run a 5v so that a low battery/bad alternator/bad voltage regulator condition doesn't cause them to misread. Makes them a bit less susceptible to error doing it this way. "
So will run 60 amp alt with above "improved dash , will add the 10g wire alt>bat and 12g alt stud to starter relay wityh fuseable links .
Sound good enough ?
Thanks and sorry for being a PIA ,but it's been a while since I worked on cars
