The Lucas alternators are OK. Not the Lucaslookalikes.
They look vaguely period. Indeed, they are fairly period! And one can =
get all the bits and bobs for a rebuild if necessary.
I bought one on eBay. A 17ACR.It would work fine for about 5 minutes =
then my ammeter would go off the clock. But it was cheap to buy - =
=C2=A316:55 - and very cheap to fix.
They come left or right handed but can be swapped around.

I went through a series of NAPA alternators, all defective out of the =
box, until I finally got my money back and bought a =
Leece-Neville/Prestolite unit which has given me about 15 years of =
trouble-free service. One of its nice features is that it has a modular =
external voltage regulator and changing it would probably take no more =
than five minutes.

I have been trying to find the source of a parasitic draw of power from =
my battery for the past several weeks. FWIW, I have lost 0.75 volts on =
the charge over the last 4 days. This seems like a lot.
=20
When I remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery (its a =
negative ground car) connect one end of my ammeter onto the negative =
terminal on the battery and the other end to the cable removed from the =
battery, the ammeter (set to read current of less than 10A) does not =
register a draw. However, when I use a 12 volt light and connect it to =
the same points`, the light goes on ever so slightly. =20
=20
Today I noticed a very faint humming from the alternator and it was a =
little warmer to the touch than the other parts of the engine. When I =
disconnect the alternator from the solenoid, the humming went away and =
when I tested it with the light the light did not light up - no draw. I =
can=E2=80=99t see anywhere else the draw could be coming from. =
I=E2=80=99ve pulled all the fuses one by one to see if there is power =
being drawn from each circuit - with the alternator hooked up, there is =
no draw registered. =20
=20
This is the second new alternator I=E2=80=99ve had on the car in the =
last 60 days. I had the issue before I exchanged the old alternator and =
the problem continued when I installed it. Could it be another bad =
alternator?? Are alternators exceptionally sensitive or just not made =
very well these days?
=20
Thank you for any light that can be shed on this.
