    I.D. this part please!

    Ok so I got this alternator from a mate and he claims it is to suit a 3.9L rover V8. I cant seem to locate any marking on the exterior and have yet to remove the cap.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction so I can commence the research required to utilise this alternator it would be much appreciated.

    It's one huge mofo, have a reference shot with my girlfriend holding it to get an idea of size.





    Mallory HEI is my first guess

    Um, I don't think it's an alternator to start with .





    And I hope that's not your girlfriend.




    Or is this an 'in joke' ???

    Ebay is full of these dissy's. The coil is in the cap. They are a copy design, (made in China probably) of the original Chev HEI distributor. No good reason why it shouldn't run, you just need to extend the + and - wires over from your original coil. One of my customers bought one for a Windsor V8 in a ZC Fairlane and it is running well. They may have adjustable vac advance, I believe you stick an allen key into the vac port and turn for more/less advance. I have a similar one in my 2 door RRC but it doesn't have the coil-in-cap design.

    yep that isn't an alternator,

    but if that girl is your friend,
    that does make her a girl friend,

    although the description 'girl friend' does in most cases, of someone your age, would usually refer to someone about your age,
    like your wife/fiance jess.


    she makes that dissy look so big!

    When you have posted up pics of an actual alternator you might get some coherent advice.

    Just stick your finger on one of the plug leads with 12 volts applied and you will see.
    Tingle =10 amps
    hair standing on end=50 amps
    thrown across room =100amps.
