My soultion was to get an inexpensive
Delco alternator from my local parts 
store. Jump a wire from #2 terminal (I
think) to the hot post and it self 
regulates.
A minor problem: you have to
file off 1/8 of an inch or so from the 
alternator mounting pivot casting for
belt alignment. A minor item.
Another thing is that the TR6 alternator uses a
5/16 mounting bolt while the 
Delco uses a 3/8. Solution is take off the
mounting bracket and drill and 
tap it out to 3/8 and use a 3/8 bolt. Stronger
anyhow.
You may have to fab the top adjusting arm, but that's easy. Jeg's etc
sells 
them.
It's really very easy to do. I've had no problems with that setup
in my car, 
except the one time the jumper wire came adrift, the battery
started to get 
low, and I got black flagged because my transponder was
failing. And if 
you're on the road or track and have a problem, any parts
store will have a 
replacement in stock.
Under $100 for everything.
Good luck,
Bill
