First, I apologize for bringing up a topic that has been discussed many times.
But, the alternator in my '72 TR6 needs replacement for obvious reasons. The
output is not enough at idle and the wires (I have a 5-wire connection) and it
needs replacement. Dan Master's excellent book explains several different
wiring options in detail. He recommends to use the GM alternator. Others
recommend to use a remanufactured '78 Ford Fiesta Bosch alternator w/55A which
gives almost a bolt-on replacement. And I can use Dan's wiring schematics for
the electrical hookup. My main problem is locating the Fiesta alternator. Does
anyone have a specific source for this Bosch alternator with fan and pulley? I
spent hours trying to locate one that is remanufactured, carrying some sort of
warranty. But, I have not yet found suppliers, like AutoZone, Summit, NAPA nor
Pep Boys. I don't want to search at junk yards. Does anyone have any
recommendations?
Thanking in advance,
Jeff N.
