Anybody running a 100amp alt on their race car?
figuring out of an alternator is a delta or a "Y" junction armature may be handy. the 100A chrysler units are a delta junction, high ouput lower rpms, the squarebacks are high output mid-high rpms. im pretty sure the nippy units are a "Y" junction as well. Bypassing the ammeter by removing the red wire from the ammeter to the starter relay, and retaining the original black charge wire only from the alternator to the junction that feeds the fuse box/ignition switch as a power feed only, and running new 4 GA. from the alternator, through a manual reset 80A circuit breaker (this is where the original charge wire/now power feed ties in), to the starter relay 5/16 post, then to the battery has solved all my issues related to situations like yours. in both my powerwagon and my dart. I run 60a squarebacks in both.
