I keep reading round back, square back, single pole, etc...
I just need to know: if I want to find an alternator that puts out a bit more amperage......WHICH type am I looking for?
Or this aftermarket and already generating more than OEM?

I'm guessing a Dodge/Chrysler fit with a spot on the back for one wire and a pulley for two belts.
But it sounds like it's more complicated than that, for some reason. Lol

This is currently (no pun intended) in my 1969 Charger with no A/C (installing aftermarket soon).

Round back, single field, with a catch-all dual pulley. Can be used on most '60's Mopars. This is what you will get from rebuilders through auto parts stores. It is almost impossible to get a single pulley on them anymore. Likely about 60 amps.
 
Just that the one you have is a correct alternator for the year, but got the wrong brush installed… and I’m showing the correct brush and how it looks installed.


The one installed there is from a double field alt. Does it work? Yes, but…


Aside of course the double pulley… being no A/C should be single pulley, and all those years got a larger diameter pulleys. They become smaller on lates 70 earliers 80s (the one your unit actually gets) to get more juice from them at idle speed (aside some other mods)

Gotcha. It seems to work. Maybe a good idea that I'm looking to change it, then. I can't seem to find a verified match online. My local auto parts store seems even worse. Lol
I'll have to do a few purchases and returns to get right, I suppose.
