>> Thanks to everyone how send me email on my failed alternator. I decided 
>> to
>> follow Joe Curry and Randall's advice and I now have a 55 amp alternator 
>> in
>> the TR6 tonight. Both recommended a 78-80 Ford Fiesta with A/C Bosch 
>> unit.
>> It bolted right in, same cable connectors. Only minor issue was the 
>> fan(?)
>> on the pulley just touched the washer and bolt on the adjustment arm. I
>> removed the middle washer from between the bracket and the alternator and
>> all was well. Volts read 13.9 at 1,500 RPM.
>>
>> Once again the list get me back on the road.
