[TR] [6pack] Charging Sytem Not Working - 74 TR6 - Fixed

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 Al,

If you explore my car on the triumphowners.com/108 web site you will find my information on installing a GM alternator.? It is in the "Special Projects" section near the bottom of the page.? Included in the information is the part number of the alternator I used.? A couple years back it was about $45, including the core charge.? The GM alternator can be used right side up by trimming the alternator housing but I chose a different path and explained my solution in the article on the web site.? It is another solution.? I seem to recall that the alternator was in stock at my local NAPA store.

Yell if you have any questions.

Aaron

I was curious if you had to order it and how much.
Mine gave it up today.
I went around town and no one had a bosch, so I ordered it from Napa ,$ 109 
+ $18 core.
Going to be a few days, because of the holiday.
And there was only 5 in the warehouse and none at the factory.
Lucas alternators aren't avail. period.

I am also  looking for some TR6 intake manifolds 72-76, if anyone has some 
they'd like to sell.
