[TR] Alternator?

[TWC Dean]

I've seen reference to this Bosch alternator for 6 cyl TR engines. Will it bolt right up on a 4 cyl?

The alternator required some trimming of the mounting boss to get the belt alignment right, but its very simple. I directly wired the alternator output to the battery via a heavy duty fuse hidden inside the gutted voltage regulator case to avoid any issues with stressing out the wiring harness. I also recall installing a resistor in parallel on the generator light to get the alternator to kick in at a lower RPM.
