I have been looking for an alternative alternator. But I would like one
that is more easily available than most of the options I have seen.
When we were on the road in my wife's TR250, we could not find anything
that was available locally. All of the options like the Camaro and
Fiesta that I have seen are about 30 years old and were not on hand.
Everything was going to take 2 or 3 days to get to the FLAPS.
We ended up having a Lucas one shipped, from one of the big suppliers,
overnight to our next planned stop and just made use of friendly shops
to keep the battery charges as we drove. Stop for lunch - found a shop
near a restaurant. Stopped for ice cream found a nearby shop. Same for
supper.

<br>
The key components are a Delco 10Si alternator (used
on roughly a billion GM
products and available anywhere) and a wide pulley
that I got from an
agricultural machinery supplier. The alternator
required some trimming of the
mounting boss to get the belt alignment right, but its
very simple. I directly
wired the alternator output to the battery via a heavy
duty fuse hidden inside
the gutted voltage regulator case to avoid any issues
with stressing out the
wiring harness. I also recall installing a resistor in
parallel on the
generator light to get the alternator to kick in at a
lower RPM. <br>

It works great and is completely reversible if a
