Nik,
I started out to do that GM conversion, but after examining the mounting
modifications I saw were necessary, I bought a Lucas alternator from a
chain parts store that offers a Lifetime warranty. The thing hasn't
hiccupped yet, but I know that when it does I will be able to replace it
free of charge. I think the thing cost me about $90.00.
Regards,
Joe
