Hello, I'm a novice and have some alternator questions......
I've now went through 2 Lucas alternators in very short order on my Midget and am in the market for a 3rd. I would like this next one to be the last alt. I buy, at least for a while. I know that racing / performance parts are sometimes built to higher specs / tolerances / quality. Is this true with alternators? Those of you who race Spridgets, what do you use??
I'm not concerned about price as much as I am quality. I've heard lots about the Bosch and GM alt. conversions, as well as having the Lucas units rebuilt by a reputable shop. However, is there a make or style that is above and beyond the rest? I've seen the ones from companies like Powermaster and East Coast Auto Electric, are these at all better?? They appear to be modified or rebuilt Nippon-Denso units. Are the components worth their $250+ price tags? What makes the more expensive?
Im not currently racing or anything like that but would like an alternator to fit the bill should I ever start. (as I would like to)
Thanks for any insight!
