[Alex & Janet Thomson]

Check out Dan Master's site - http://www.advanceautowire.com   They have
schematics available there. Also, look at Litezupp.   https://litezupp.com
- they address some of the issues with LED's including dashboard indicators.
Polarity, color and how the bulb is oriented are issues that are addressed.

Subject: [TR] generator vs alternator

 

Recently picked up a 59 TR3 which has an alternator conversion.  Since the
engine was separate, I have no idea how well the generator works or if at
all.  It is still in the engine compartment, wires connected (unlike the
engine).  how can I test it?

 

Given the current availability of LED lights, and since I have no interest
in installing a radio, should I try to keep the current setup (little joke
there) or go back to a generator?

 

Are there wiring diagrams for this car with a generator?
