    I'm not quite sure why these large GM style alternators get used, they are very ugly and can be awkward to mount, I much prefer the small Toyota/Denso type, they are much smaller, have high output and more reliable. You must have lots of them in the wrecking yards by now ???
    Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.

    Steve - which Toyota ones work best? It looks like every Toy has a different version. I've one of the GM's with the offset clocked mount on my car and I can assure you that it is beyond a PITA plus way too big. I also want to do a low mount and that's almost impossible with what I have.

    Heck - what's another winter car project
