My alternator bearings are whining ever since I held 6.5K RPM several times during a driving school. There is no affect yet on electrical operation yet, but obviously it has to be addressed. Does any

Not sure what you mean. If whatever you are using to give a boost start delivers a very high voltage then it could possibly blow the diodes, but it would have to be many tens of volts, possibly over

A few weeks ago I replaced a bad battery in the 79B. The car then started. A few days later,on the way home the alternator light stayed on all the time; not just glowing, but bright. The next time I

Hi Monte, In that case it was the diode failure that caused the light to stay on and then discharged your battery. It wasn't using the charger after the battery had gone flat that caused the diode to

I have heard enough anectodal to suggest that the Lucas alternators will go bad if jumped. I always unplug the alternator before jumping it. It takes 5 seconds and is good insurance. The difference b

I was under the impression (perhaps mistakenly) that the bridge rectifier is usually manufactured as single part and Monte would not be able to replace a bad diode individually. Unfortunately, I do
