Hi Jarrid
<Of course this doesnt explain why the huge Lucas unit only
<puts out 35 amps.
Well because Lucas designed it that way.. :-)
Clearly it seems it was their first design and there are lots 
of things that could be improved.. 
A long time ago I looked at upgrading the 10AC to put out more
current..  I was running lots of older 2 way radios that really
could have used more current..  Ended up it was easier to put in a 
VW alternator..  
Regardless it didn't look to hard to rewind the field and upgrade
the rectifiers and heat sink.  I actually was considering doing 
that to the show car..   Then I reallized I'd bend the needle of 
the ammeter.. :-)
