Those are great alternators, I have one on my 73 351C, one on my Camaro, and one in a box waiting to for my XB w/351C restoration. I think they make a 100 amp version too, but the specs at idle are a little lower. Didn't go with the bling one though just standard finish.

Thanks Greg! I guess I'm a sucker for a little bling...:D They are a little pricey but I think in the long run money well spend.

 
Folks,

I'm now in the Torino world after selling my 72 & 70, but I'll add a few other recommended upgrades / revisions from my 1st list:

1). Air cleaner (Scott Drake 14X2)

2). Electronic ignition and coil (Pertonix Flame-Thrower Billet II)

3). 1-wire alternator (Powermaster 100 amp)

4). Rocketman’s gauge cluster tach (RCCI Innovations - M7123S)

5). 4 Bbl upgrade: Edelbrock Performer and 1403 Electric Choke carb (500 cfm)

6). 1” front sway bar (Grab-A-Trak)

7). Electric fan (Flex-a-Lite 3000 cfm)

8). Dual exhaust (Flowmaster 40s)

9). PMGR mini-starter, high torque (DBelectrical - SFD0001)

10). Aftermarket radio (Custom Auto Sound USA-2)

--------------------------

New additions:

a). Rear sway bar was mentioned earlier in thread, concur.

b). Night driving upgrades: Self-dimming rearview mirror (with map light) and Halogen upgrade w/circuit on relay to battery.

c). Separate Electric Relay Circuits (Painless wiring) (electric choke, coil, e-fan, radio amp, radio, new gauges, RV mirror, lighter, etc). Keep the load off the old wires & use modern fuses. Can't believe I never went this route earlier.

d). 15x8 & 15x7 Magnum 500 package from CJPonyparts - mounted & balanced, delivered.

e). Modern seat belt (3 point). I got a S Drake to match my Torino's interior. 100X better than the connect-a-belt from my 70 & 72.

f). Procar seats, classic. Reclining & classic look are worth the cost.

g). Air Cleaner - K&N with open element top.

h). 69 Torino came with an AOD. World of difference, truly.

I). H pipe on the dual exhaust
