Right! Had it on the road for all of about a day and already not happy with
it being standard! I've had to fit an alternator off something like a Metro
as the original 16ARC (or what ever it was) packed up. The plus side is it's
a 55A jobby and has two terminals on the back marked +B and W.. as far as I
can remember. Now then, aren't at least one of these for a rev counter?
Unfortunately the alternator did have a multi-rib belt pulley, so had to
swap this for the V belt pulley which I had to bore out as it had a smaller
diameter hole for the shaft! Oh and the tensioner lug was on the wrong side,
could have rotated the front end of the alienator but decided it was easier
just to make a new tensioner, its now easier to get to anyway.
Its a fair point that it took some fitting but it does work a treat!
The question is. what sort of output do you get from these other terminals?
Is it analogue or digital? Are there any rev counters I can connect straight
up to them? Obviously calibration is going to be defiantly out. especially
as I've changed the pulley. Otherewise I'll be looking to make something up.
Thanks! Toby
