>Use the Toyota High Speed alternator.  It can be found on Toyota Tercels,
>1985 and later (as well as many other Asian cars - I found one on a Chevy
>Sprint) at any salvage yard for about $15 used.  They are internally
>regulated and will need only a one wire hook-up to the battery and a switched
>ignition wire to excite the rotor/magnet.  You can hook-up the idiot warning
>light or run an amp meter as a charge indicator.  These units are bullet
>proof and are Toyota's recomendation for retrofit to earlier cars with
>enternal regulators.  They are made by Nipon-Denzo and can be identified by a
>squareish sheet metal cover on the rear of the unit to cover the regulator
>and diodes.  They have an internal fan giving the case a nicely curved look.
>They will be found with both types of pulleys which can be easily changed to
>one that works with your car,
