[6pack] lucas alternator upgrade

[Navarrette, Vance]

	What would probably be easier is go to NAPA and get a rebuilt
alternator for your car for a 1976 TR6. The amount of current kept going
up through the model years, even though the externals remained the same.
	This assumes that youhave an earlier TR6. A rebuilt is about $90
at my local parts store. You can verify the current rating with your
parts man. And yes, Lucas alternators are available through most parts
places, as they were put on a variety of English cars (Jag, MG, Triumph,
Land Rover, etc).
	The core charge was a whopping $1 at my parts store. Guess they
don't need too many cores for rebuilding.

Subject: [6pack] lucas alternator upgrade

is it possible for an alternator rebuilder to upgrade
the internals of my lucas alternator 10 amps or so? i
think it's 35A stock, thought 45 or 50A would be
comparable to  the other conversions people do.
i already know about using the delco or the bosch
units but i don't want to deal with all the grinding
and getting a pulley that will fit, etc.


thanks
ryan
