My newly acquired SV came with a Nippon Denso alternator that appears to fit
as the original. Can't read the data plate for the amps, but it runs the
brights and blower with no strain.
Like Jon, I also plan to add an electric fan before the Jersey summer heat
arrives. Any thoughts on a quiet yet efficient fan model??
Have fun, Vlad
