[Roadsters] Alternator question

[Roy Haslett]

I suggest rebuilding your original alternator.  I have a large Kenwood stereo
w/amps and Bosch driving lights on my 67 1600 and my original alternator has
worked well for many years.

Hi All,



Well I am now the proud
owner of a 1969 Roadster 1600 that I will be working
on to restore. And we
just bought a restored 1968 1600. The '68 had been
sitting for over a year and
only started a couple of times. We started it up
and put about 300 miles on it
over the course of a month B then blewB a
cylinder. We rebuilt the head and
got that problem all fixed (thank you
Ralley!).



Anyway, now the alternator
is out and I am thinking it will be best to have
the existing alternator
rebuilt but I am wondering if there is a new
alternator that will work. I have
not been able to find a new alternator that
has the proper power output. I did
some checking and it looks like there is a
problem with new alternators being
over powered and burning out the wiring.



Of course the good folks at the
auto parts store have all kinds of things they
say will work but I want to be
sure before I make a purchase. I don't want to
end up replacing the celinoid
and starter and all the wiring in between.


Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!



Jim
