Alternators
sorry guys i should of explaind a little bit better.
The car currently has a lucas type alternator set up on it. LRA607 to be precise.
how ever its a proper bodge job. as ill show you in the pics below.
the red wire is the main wire that runs to the alt, that was sitting on the bodged bridge in the alternator in order to contact both terminals. and everyting else has been spliced into that cable. starter dash etc...
now i want to get keep the alt set up as they are a lot easier to obtain and much cheaper. plus i belive they are internally regulated. i also want to completely rewire it properly with fresh wires/connectors.(not fussed about it not being original, would much rather drive it then have the correct date coded wheel nuts etc)
now im not entirely sure if there even was a voltage regulator already inline or not as i haven't got around to checking just yet, so that was my main question, if i do find one, shall i remove it. next question would be where abouts would one normally be?
the car has run fine untill a few years ago when i last drove it, as i parked it up you could hear the battery hissing away from now what im assuming is this awful bodge wiring job hasnt helped.
hope that clears up a little where i am with it.:thumbsup:
