REFLECTOR: Franklin Alternator

[Laurence Coen]

Mike,

I've had problems with the supermarket type auto store rebuilds but never a problem with NAPA.  They're more pricey but I think you get what you pay for.

Thanks Larry, 


I'll check out my local NAPA store. One problem is that most of 
these Auto stores only sell rebuilt alternators which has a terrible
reputation. 


I was wondering why none of the Franklin drivers responded to the post.

  Mike,

  I too have an Atlas Motors Franklin.  I was told at one time that the alternator was from a Nissian B2000 pickup.  If you take it to a NAPA parts store they can probably match it up to a higher output unit with the same mount.  The guys at my local NAPA store actually know stuff.

  My engine was purchased from Atlas Motors and came with a 35A
  alternator. Now that I have installed dual GRT HX EFIS, the little
  alternator is just not up to the task. 

  B&C Dose not make an alternator to fit the Franklin. 
  Which alternator are you Franklin drivers using.

  PS. 60 or 70 Amps.
