Craig,
Thanks to info that came from listers, I bought a rebuilt (Lucas)
alternator for my 77B at AutoZone. About $90 with a lifetime warranty. The
first one that I received was acting suspiciously so I took it back. They
replaced it with no problems at all. I now have about 20,000 miles on it. Of
course, YMMV.
