Have you already purchased that PlanePower alternator? I hope not. They are basically
a Chinese made clone of the Nippon Denso alternators used on Hondas, Toyotas
& Chrysler products. They have a terrible reputation on the Vans Airforce
forum. Many fail within 400 hours. Better to use a real Nippon Denso alternator
as has been discussed on this forum for many years. Two of the recent linked
below:

These internally regulated alternators can easily [only need to remove the sheet
steel rear cover] be converted to external regulation, is so desired. I've done
this to my ND alternator for about $20. That was a few years ago, so parts
prices are probably higher now. I can supply instructions with photos off list
if interested.

Charlie: I agree- plan to remove the Plane Power when the engine arrives!
I got the name wrong in my initial post: I purchased the B&C LX60, because of
the bad reviews of Plane-Power alternators on VAF.
I have the B&C on the shelf, waiting on engine delivery (Dec 2025 is the latest
promise) so I can remove the PP and install the B&C unit.
I read quite a lot about the Denso for my 86 Suzuki Samurai [Wink] and auto parts
availability is appealing.
Sorry for my mix-up.
