It works well for 10 years: Mitsubishi 60 -70 amp, internal regulator, internal fan. Various makes are suitable. Model used listed under 1990 Mazda 626, 2.2L, L4, Fuel injected. Available at Advance Auto parts for $95, as well as most auto stores. It comes with a spline pulley so you will need the auto parts store to replace it with the pulley off of your old alternator.

Talk about being prepared. However, it does seem like a good idea to know if such an option exists for the -10. Does anyone know if there is an equivalent auto parts alternator that will work for us? Thus, we can either carry around a cheap spare or know what to look for at a local auto parts store, even better. This would be a backup to the stock Plane Power alternator. Does anyone know of the closest direct replacement? >From the limited searching i have done online, the mounting bosses dont seem to be the same.

Very specific instructions from Hartzell - I just follow them. Especially because they take the time to spell out not to treat it like any other grease situation (pump until something comes out somewhere else). Since I don't have a history greasing stuff, I don't seem to have a problem following the instructions. Bill On 3/31/2015 4:41 PM, Kelly McMullen wrote: > > Award for most accurate response.
