<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">An alternator is a significant upgrade (you can have lights and wipers on at the same time), but it will require different pulleys if it is a narrow belt.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recently picked up a 59 TR3 which has an alternator conversion. Since the engine was separate, I have no idea how well the generator works or if at all. It is still in the engine compartment, wires connected (unlike the engine). how
can I test it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given the current availability of LED lights, and since I have no interest in installing a radio, should I try to keep the current setup (little joke there) or go back to a generator?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are there wiring diagrams for this car with a generator? <o:p>
