I find myself in need of a new (rebuilt) alternator for my '69 Charger suddenly. I haven't bought one in 35 years so where is a good source? Need a single field, single pulley unit for a big block R/T.

No, but it is a period replacement from Mopar. It has been on the car nearly 40 years. Which brings up a good point, it is a far better core than getting an off the shelf rebuild. I am just trying to get my car back on the road quick as possible now that I have time to enjoy it.Is that the original alternator to the car?
look up powermaster alternators for after market.No, but it is a period replacement from Mopar. It has been on the car nearly 40 years.

Looked at NAPA, what they had was a newer square back case instead of the earlier round back which is correct for the car.Napa. Better unit than the other parts houses (in my experiences anyway) and good price. Single-pulley might be special order though....I only have one belt but use a double pulley unit, because that's what they had in stock at the time, no problems.
Good alternator for 'back on the road quickly'...
Thanks for the tip on these guys. Unfortunately they have every part except the one I need, a field winding (rotor). But have them book marked for future.
I have decided to go with the Powermaster unit. Mancini's has one in stock and are close by.look up powermaster alternators for after market.
Thanks for the tip on these guys, I will be contacting them in the near future to look at getting my "period correct" core re-manufactured.I use these guys for my rebuilds...
After getting too many remanufactured alternators from Auto Zone, O'reily's, etc off the shelf that were bad, I found these guys that are local to me and rebuild starters and alternators themselves... They make their own windings in house and I have gotten great results from them...
We got three alternators for my son's Valiant at Auto Zone we took his old one (luckily we didn't trade the core in yet) to these guys and they did a great job the first time...
