Re: What alternator to use

Jonathan
I am using a Ford alternator...can't recall what model it came off, but it was converted to a one wire setup, sure saved a lot on wiring etc. Take a look in some of those catalogs like Summit, and they may have some good choices. The only thing I have seen thats very small are some of those Japanese types as Emiel mentioned, or some of the race alternators, which cost a bundle. You can take a look at some other mounting options if space is a problem, particularly down low where there is more available space on most chassis.
Good Luck
Phil
