[Roadsters] One wire alt?

[Pete Peters]

I did the GM alt per 311s.org when I first got my '66. While cheap and easy, I wouldn't do it again as it's pretty big and looks totally out of place on a roadster engine. If you were nearby, Paul, I'd give it to you.

There are much better options today.

If you don't mind a slightly modern look, the 93mm Denso (see 311s.org TechWiki) is nice and small.

I'm going w/ a later Nissan-style alt w/ IR (search on "14255") on my '67. You still have to modify the alternator bracket (differently than for the GM alt), but it's 50A-60A, slightly larger than the stock alt and doesn't look out of place.

Cheers,

Pete

Paul,

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You can take your current alternator to a parts house & verify if it’s good or not. If it’s bad, the GM one wire is good but there are other smaller Hitachi units that fit better. I’m getting ready to fit a 280z one wire to my engine, probably next week. I can let you know how it fits if you like. 

Peace,
Pat
