[Fot] Small one wire alt for TR3/4

[Bill Tobin]

FOT: I use a regular $60 Delco altrernator and wire it to self regulate. It 
takes a very small modification to align it right: just file off a small 
part of the mounting tab on the alternator.
I also modify the mounting bracket on the 6. The original bolt is a 5/16. I 
drill and tap the hole to 3/8 for theDelco. Works well and is stronger. No 
problems in 8 years.
I don't run the revs that some guys do though with their 4s.
KISS.
Bill
