Re: FW: [Chrysler300] Essex alternators on your 300?

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Our '79 Chrysler 300 has a Leece-Neville Heavy Duty Alternator.  Very 
expensive to replace.  It has a good bit of power options but not really a 
loaded car.  Was my daily driver for several years.  Not really happy to 
have to replace a very expensive alternator on a daily driver.
