[Roadsters] Alternator question

[Fred Schroeder]

I don't have any need for a high power alternator so I replaced mine with a
35amp unit with built-in regulator.

My write-up with pictures and diagrams is located at:

about half way down the page.

Best regards,

  Hi All,



  Well I am now the proud owner of a 1969 Roadster 1600 that I will be
working
  on to restore. And we just bought a restored 1968 1600. The '68 had been
  sitting for over a year and only started a couple of times. We started it
up
  and put about 300 miles on it over the course of a month B then blewB a
  cylinder. We rebuilt the head and got that problem all fixed (thank you
  Ralley!).



  Anyway, now the alternator is out and I am thinking it will be best to have
  the existing alternator rebuilt but I am wondering if there is a new
  alternator that will work. I have not been able to find a new alternator
that
  has the proper power output. I did some checking and it looks like there is
a
  problem with new alternators being over powered and burning out the wiring.



  Of course the good folks at the auto parts store have all kinds of things
they
  say will work but I want to be sure before I make a purchase. I don't want
to
  end up replacing the celinoid and starter and all the wiring in between.


  Any advice is appreciated!


  Thanks!



  Jim
