Standard ACR unit, good call Mike  Will only be a maximum of 45amps as it has spade terminals on, as Mike points out, that would be pushing it for a V8, but your not running tons of un needed electrics. LRA101 is the lucas part number for a 36amp unit, should be around £45. What size is the battery? |

Where did you find that photo Terry?! I was scouring the thread last night for a pic, (using Taz's old laptop & most of my photos are stored on my old PC), & couldn't find one. That was when we were wondering if we had to keep the old ballast resistor or not, (the flat aluminium unit hooked up to the coil).
Not sure of the battery's output, but it's from Halfords & was the one they listed for V8 Landrover Discoverys, so I figured it'd be up to the job.
I bought the Rover engine & gearbox from a local guy who said it'd come from a Standard 8 drag car. No paperwork with it, just the motor & box sat on a wooden trolley. So there's no guarantee anything fitted on it's original.

Yep, that 072 battery is fine, I`d like to see a 65 amp alternator coupled up to it but as i said, your not needlessly using power so a 45amp will be fine.

This is what it should sound like. This is from a slightly earlier Rover. A P6. Same engine though & same Borg Warner auto gearbox. This one has the alternator in it's original position at top right of the engine. Mine's relocated to bottom left. It also has the original twin SU carbs, (I've replaced mine with a single Holley).

Haven't got any alternators left,used the last one I had on the Chevy a while back.
I've always just used the Lucas 17 acr,ran them on my rover and got one on the Chevy,plenty powerful enough for what you need.
