Dear all;

In my ongoing road tests of the recently reborn 2500, its time to swap out 
the old, original Lucas alternator and swap in something else.  Can anyone 
help with the following questions?

---What contemporary alternator (make, model) serves as a suitable 
replacement for the original lucas alternator that I have in the car 
now?  What amp rating?
---Given the above, is there significant change to the mounting hardware?
---Do I use my old pulley or will the new unit come with one?
---Also given the above, what wiring changes do I need to make?  (My TVR 
has five wires going to the alternator, tho its my understanding that new 
alternators only accept three).

Many many thanks,
Will Zehring
