I believe the club website has a section on how to wire an alternator to an F with a diagram. If using a standard alternator the existing wiring is fine. However the splices necessary must be properly done for a reliable result. If using a high output alternator such as the aftermarket Powermasters that look like originals but can deliver over 100 amps be aware that the wiring and fusing in the original wiring did not contemplate that kind of short circuit current.
ps. The AMA specs for the 300 F call for the alternator as available - we know it was standard on the Specials, but as such it is not inappropriate on any F and as we know, the alternator as a machine is far superior to the DC generator.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Alternator wiring
Hello folks. I just had an alternator put in the 300F. I had to switch out the dead generator which I’m sending off to Gener-mayor at some point. Car died. Long sad Mother’s Day story - had it towed to the shop. My mechanic told me that the wiring from the alternator that used to be red is black, oldd (obviously) and heating up. He advised the all the wiring should be upgraded from the alternator through the fire wall to the amp gauge, Who I got the generator installed from I’m not involving. Anyone have any experience or advice with this situation?
