<div class="userStyles" style=" font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">The Suzuki 1987/1989 Samurai alternator that was mentioned previously is a<br>
three wire alternator, and is very small. You will have to make some mounting<br>
bracket changes, but it fits well.<br>

<p>While on the subject of alternators ...</p>
<p>Once upon a time, a couple decades past I purchased an alternator conversion kit from a Morgan parts house for my TR3. About 7 or 8 years ago it failed while I was near Laughlin NV. I had a local shop fix it. They replaced my 3 wire alternator with a single wire system that used the wire going to the idiot light to charge the battery. For the past few years the alternator output didn't start charging until I hit about 2000 RPM and didn't go to a full 15V charge unless the engine was turning 3200 RPM or better. The 2 wire connector on the side of the alternator has a wire they never connected to anything.</p>
<p>I've been tempted to replace the alternator with a 3 wire system that starts charging when it is supposed to but have no idea which alternator to buy.</p>
<p>I never wrote down the number or ID of the alternator I purchased from the Morgan shop and forgot which shop it was. I've only worked with Delco 10 & 12SI alternators and what's in there appears slightly smaller.</p>
<p>So what is a good 3 wire alternator that fits a TR3 bay? I have an electric fan so I would guess 60 AMPS would be more than enough for the fan, headlamps, and a pair of aux lamps.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
