[6pack] Lucas to Delco Alternator Recipe for late TR6

[Bob Danielson]

Wayne,
Here's the Delco upgrade that I did 4 years ago just before installing Dan's
wire harness. http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/Alternator_Conversion_1.htm

You will run into the same problem I did in that the alternator mounting
bracket also holds the air pump so, unless you're more clever than I am,
you'll need to get a bracket from an early TR6. Or maybe you can find a way
to get the Delco unit to fit a late TR6 bracket. Any good alternator repair
shop should be able to source the right size pulley and install it on the
new alternator. I just brought them my Lucas unit with the pulley and they
went from there. I was able to retain my stock belt size.

Subject: [6pack] Lucas to Delco Alternator Recipe for late TR6

  I'm looking for the recipe for converting my 18ACR Lucas Alternator to a
Delco unit.
I normally like to keep things original on my 75 TR6, but my Alternator went
yesterday and I want to upgrade my Headlamps to the Cibies and maybe a thing
or 2 else in the future.
At least these upgrades are easily reversible back to original
configuration. I still have my Stromberg's mounted on their Intake Manifiold
since converting to my SU's.
 I need to know a good Alternator to buy with the proper Bracket and any
Plug adapter I may need as well as the Pulley and Fan Belt needed to
complete the conversion neatly.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Wayne Lee
