This is a small bearing 1296 engine that is now equipped with a Lucas
Alternator. I have long suspected that the smaller pulley that was
designed
for use with the original generator is spinning the alternator slower
than it
wants and therefore not putting out the kind of charge that it normally
would.
So, while I am in the market for a new pump, I decided to order one
designed
for a later car with an alternator (larger pulley).
==AM==
Maybe I haven't had enough caffeine yet today, but wouldn't a small
pulley turn FASTER than a larger one? Meanwhile, I also am not
understanding how the size of the water pump pulley will affect the
speed of the alternator, since the water pump pulley acts more as an
idler pulley.
Off to refresh my tea.... ;-)
