Cool. New alternator should be arriving on my doorstep during the week this week. I'll see what terminals are on the back of it.

Thanks! I just got a PRW SFI rated one for my forged crank 440 to 145K Mopar torque converter. Quite a beefy part compared to stock!

All factory engines used a "stock" flex plate...which one depends on the year. All 440HP's prior to '73 used the 11 3/4" (12") converter which takes a different flex plate than the 10 3/4" (11") converter used '73 and later.

Charger Discussion / Re: Spring Break for old guys

A recent "challenge" has arisen here. The car acts like it has dirty battery terminals and just "clicks" instead of starting (occasionally) now. I've done a preliminary cleaning of both the posts and the cable ends, but it's still "hit or miss", it seems. The battery is a cheap one, sourced from O'Brian's here and is now 3-years old(?). When I get a finally get a connection it seems strong enough, what gives here? Anyone?

Bummer , all the  other guys say , 

check starter relay & wire connections / terminals to it , also have a good look at yellow wire ( it yellow on a 69 think 68 same ) & terminal not loose ?

battery cables to starter motor etc

all grounds just for the sake of it 

battery voltage  when cranking ? turn head lights on do they go dull or go  off  when cranking ?

fire wall block connector

sounds to me like starter solenoid or fault in side  starter motor its self ! its iffy giving random fault , if all the cables check out & battery & all above, next time it dont start give the starter body  a wack with a hammer & or lighty tap solenoid ,then try & start it ?

should of really numbered what order to try    but if it cranking & running perfect for 1000s of miles & not battery or loose connections , then random click click its the starter , even if its something simple to fix like whats  mentioned above , would still put a  quality reman starter on ( unless you dont like the original mopar starter sound  ) , easy 5  minute job unless you have headers   peace of mind then 

hope you get it sorted

Jumper the BAT and SOL terminals to eliminate the starter relay.
