Don, I put a small, one-wire alternator in my vintage racing TR3 a couple of seasons ago, and have been very pleased. Unit is made by East Coast Auto Electric and I sourced through Jeg's in Columbus,

Any small Japanese alternater with an internal regulator will work as a onewire. The hardest part is finding one that fits your location best. Sometimes you have to be a little creative with the moun

If you select a AC Delco starter, you can bolt on a half speed pulley from Summit for about $25. Freedom from worry about battery status is a big deal since my wife and I run our MGA in 2 race groups

Perhaps you're on to something here. The Vintage Saab Racing 93 has run the stock water pump/generator for 10 years. Perhaps it has worked for so long because of the water flowing through it. Or cou

Make a "dummy" generator by removing the field coils from the case, and armature pieces from the shaft. Just let the pulley act as an idler, and mount it in the regular location. This will take care
