Getting ready to swap a 70 428 CJ into my 57 63A.
I thought while I was at it i would upgrade the electrics from the one wire alternator that someone previously installed to a high output 100-140 Amp three wire alternator. Anyone got any suggestions as to make of alternator? I would prefer a Ford alternator, but am open to suggestions. Also would like to use an externally regulated alternator, but I don't know if anyone out there make an externally regulated unit that's rated above 100 amps?
Thanks

Tuff Stuff Products out of Cleveland, Ohio Summit handles there products. American made. They have 3 wire with external regulator hook up. Plus all other types, small case, 1G,2G,3G Go to there web site.
Check out the various three wires that were in the big 80s FoMoCo products. My 66 Falcon Ranchero had an 87 Continental 140 Amp 3 wire on the engine when it went in the car. Not sure you would need that much unless you are adding a bunch of power eaters.....

I used a 94-newer Mustang alternator on mine. It has internal regulator and is 130 or 140 amps. Very nice unit, wont run anything else on my cars, especially GM parts...
