RE: {Chrysler 300} Correct Alternator for Chrysler 300K

I Agree w/part numbers. Also, 2098 850 with 3” double-groove pulley. FSM spec: 39 +/- 3 Amps. vs 34.5 +/- 3 Amps. I also agree with a competent rebuild of a OEM unit—and no reason to upgrade beyond the original Amperage rating without upgrading wire and, especially, connections. No use cooking that miserable bulkhead connector.

Parts book says 2098 535 w/o pulley, 40-46 amps.

Find a good rebuilder who does a lot of older units, I found a great one here in Chicagoland.

Any auto electric shop in most mid sized cities can install new brushes and bearings in your alternator which is all most of them ever need. If originality, correctness and being kosher are important, That would be my first choice.

Alternatively you can go on-line or to any flaps (full service auto parts store) and get a "Power Master" alternator, a reasonable facsimile of the original with I think a 90 AMP output. That will solve the problem today. If you do that remember a 90 AMP alternator will be happy to deliver all 90, so any unfused circuits should have fuses added, subject of course to input from John Grady.

Hello, does anyone know the part number and the amp output that is correct for a 1964 300K with A/C. Is it possible to get a rebuilt unit for this car that does not come from China. Unfortunately Ive had these units go bad after short periods of time. Would love one rebuilt in the US.
Thanks
Chris
