Marcos Maniacs

Don,

I have don this modification to my Sprite years ago. It is pretty 
easy.  I plan on converting the Marcos to an alternator when I get to 
that part of hte restoration.  The wiring is easy plus you eliminate 
the regulator also.  I used an alternator from a Mazda sedan.  The 
actual model alternator is not as important as the hook up 
terminals.  Get one that has three terminals; one for the 12 volts to 
the battery, one for the idiot light, and one to the battery.  

There is a newer style altinator out on some of the newer Japanese 
cars that is physically half the size of the alternators used in the 
80 & 90's. I think that they would make a great choice.  As far a 
brackets go you will have to modify or make one from a standard 
bracket.  Not to hard to do, start with a standard GM bracket and cut 
away.

BTW - If a Essex V6 uses the same generator as my 1600, I may have a 
generator for sale or trade.
