James,
I suppose it could be rebuilt to get more power. Call a local auto electric
shop. They will be able to tell you if it can be done. Also, you will
probably have to change the regulator.
I have checked my parts books, from 1958 to 1963, and found a 2098 083 in
the 1962 lists. The 2098 083 was a "non-serviced production generator"
number and referred to 2098 082, which was a 35-Amp generator used on the
1962 Plymouth 361-cid V8, Dodge Dart 361-cid V8 and Valiant 6 (170 & 225).
It was stamped "GJM-7005-51". (The Canadian-built 1960-1962 Valiant had a
generator as standard, with the alternator optional in 1961-62.)

Subject: [FWDLK] Generator Question
I have a question about the rebuilding of my Generator. Any thoughts about
rebuilding it to put out an increased Amp output? I want to add a stereo
unit and some have mentioned that upping the Amp output of my original
generator would do the trick. Are there any other electrical considerations
when taking such a step? How far can you take it?? Can it be done???
Also, the part number on my Generator is "2098083". I don't see this in my
parts book. Any idea of its application? It is a "Chrysler of Canada" tag.
Thanks!
