Hi David,
My Sprite runs an MGB alternator at reduced speed and 160W Halogens.  If the 
standard alternator can't cope I think the battery would run down rather than 
burn out the alternator.  All of the Lucas ACR alternator's are pretty much 
interchangeable so you could try an MGB alternator or something with even 
more output ie use ACR 18 not ACR16.

 every one was replaced under warantee.
