The GM alternator needs to sense a load in order to go into a charging mode. It doesn't need to be much either. GM just uses the filament of the warning lamp on their cars to kick it into charging. W

An even easier solution is to use a single wire internally regulated delco alternator. You can buy them anywhere, and you just run the hot wire from alternator to battery, nothing else. But once you

You must make plenty more sacrifices to Lord Lucas than I do. They don't call him the Prince Of Darkness for nothing. The Lucas alternators are unreliable at best. Yes, some people have alternators f

One would expect that once the Lucas alternator has been replaced by something like the correct Delco model for a Spitfire your reliability would be pretty much the same as on any other Delco alterna

Do whatever floats your boat. Here in NYC, RS Straus does not have either the Midget or a spitfire in the system (but it does have MGB). AutoZone does, but has absolutely nothing for either of them.
