=C2=A0 Hello folks,
I have a 74 TR6. I noticed the other day my charging light came on and my g=
auge was showing about 11 volts when running. I removed my alternator and h=
ad it tested.=C2=A0The=C2=A0tester at=C2=A0Autozone said it was bad (althou=
gh the kid seemed to have no idea what he was doing). Anyway I ordered a ne=
w alternator and installed it today and am having the same issues. Any trou=
ble shooing suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Re: high-school tester kid. The 'old guy' at big box parts store may know h=
ow to test the Lucas. I had the same experience and they had to get the "ex=
pert" to get it connected right to their tester.=20
Re: Battery. I'm no expert=2C but 11 volts on the meter sounds like a good =
battery that is not getting charged. Not far away from not starting the car=
. The Lucas alternator would be putting out about 13 volts=2C I think. Anyt=
hing over 12 indicates it's being charged. Right?

Re: Bosch alternator. Just a tip for anybody. Don't get one with no pulley =
expecting to use your pulley from the original. Not the same shaft size. I =
was VERY lucky when the local alternator shop had a pulley in their junk bo=
x that would fit the Bosch and line up right with the water pump.=20
