Watch: 100mm Powermaster Alternator Installation In A 1940 Ford

Check out Powermaster Performance’s latest alternator for your hot rod or classic car. It’s a small 100mm Denso-style unit that has enough oomph for most applications and mounts low on the engine. It’s great for any engine compartment where space is at a premium. Check out this video that walks you through the installation of Powermaster’s mini-powerhouse, step-by-step.

Powermaster’s compact and powerful alternator is ideal for hot rods and many race cars. The new 100mm Denso-style alternator weighs in at a scant 6.4 pounds and delivers 75+ amps at higher RPM.

The 100mm Denso-style housing is exclusive to Powermaster and will mount directly in place of the original 93mm model. The Alternator produces 35+ amps at idle with a peak of 75+ amps, making it perfect for traditional rods, circle track cars, and even many drag racers.

This compact alternator is available with a V-belt pulley in a natural or polished finish as well as in a durable black coating without a pulley. Powermaster also offers several low-mount bracket assemblies for small- and big-block Chevy engines.

Key Benefits

  • Lightweight 100mm Denso style housing weighs less than 6.5 lbs
  • Efficient design produces 35+ amps at idle, and 75+ amps at high rpm

XS Volt 100mm Denso for 12/14/16 Volt Systems

For racers running 16-volt batteries, Powermaster also offers an XS Volt version of 100mm Alternator. The XS model features a specific Voltage Control System that allows a range of voltage output from 13.5 to 18.5.  This feature will help racers keep their electronics at full operating voltage which is especially important for the ignition and fuel pump. Adjustments are made through an easily accessible potentiometer and this new unit is a bolt-in upgrade for the proven 93mm XS Volt Powermaster. Go here for more info.
