<DIV><FONT size=2>It's on and working well. It's a 72, 16AC would be the
wrong type as it uses an external regulator, I doubt anyone would bother fitting
one of those these days. 16/17/18ACR (internal regulation) should all be
plug compatible with each other but require a different plug if replacing a
16AC. The original 16AC and ACR were 34 amps, rising though the 17 to
the 18 at 45 amps. If that 16AC really is 45 amps then it's not a standard
unit and may have the same problem.</FONT></DIV>

<P>You didn't say what year the B is. I looked the alternator
up. I note there's a16AC unit,45A, for 68-69. Might be a better
fit. What unit came off the car?</P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
