Lack of power

Hi , iv just had an alternator fitted, works fine but now iv got no power until 2000 rpm, iv checked hoses etc but just don't have any low down power, it's all good after 2000 , cheers

I doubt it has anything directly to do with the alternator. However, check that the fitting of the alternator has not unintentionally disconnected the vacuum line to the distributor, which would affect timing and also give a manifold leak.

There are other possibilities, but perhaps the most likely is an ignition timing problem, or possibly a partly blocked jet in the carburettor, or even the carburettor flooding. If it is a Zenith, check the mating surfaces of the top cover for flatness.
