Nice140Y Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi guys, I am trying to get to the SPEC 510 meet in WV on friday. My car has been acting up for a couple of weeks. Sputtering like crazy and running like crap. Today my alternator crapped out. I think this was causing all the issues. It is a 1969 510. It had an upgraded Hitachi alternator, don't know from what, but it has the internal regulator. So, I need to know what is the best and most readily available solution for me. I will try to source it out tomorrow install it tomorrow night and drive down on friday morning. PLease help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 In addition to the '78 and up 280z and zx, a '78 or newer A10 (HL510), S10 (200sx) has an internally regulated 60 amp output. So does the '80 and up S110 (200sx), the 810/Maxima and the 720. Forget the '78 and up 620 as it only puts out 38 amp. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It should have a foil label with LR-150 or 160 .... this indicates an internal regulated 50/60 amp output. If it says LT it's externally regulated. Quote Link to comment
