Martin,
Giving up the ghost, how? There's really nothing wrong with the Lucas
unit if the internals are good (maybe a little short on amps if you have
a lot of accessories). What did the voltage check reveal? The internal
regulators on those units should keep the voltage somewhere near
13.5-14.2v.
If you want an upgrade, try an alternator out of a mid-70s (around 76-78,
I think) Ford Festiva. Should be a direct conversion, electrical
connection and all.
It'll still be cheaper to rebuild the current yourself, though.
