Oldopelguy,
Early in this thread you mentioned about upgrading the alternator using GM stuff as follows:
Well, since Bob brought up alternators....
I just borrowed a friends digital camera and I am taking some pictures of a simple way I use to back-fit Opel motors with a 60, 85, or even 140 amp GM alternator. I've even got the wiring figured out so the charge light on the dash will still work. I'll get the picture and some detailed drawings posted when I get them worked out enough to be presentable and double-check the parts fit into a GT. (What works in my Kadett or Manta only sometimes fits into a GT.)
I'd be very intrested in you sharing any info that you have on this upgrade. I want to upgrade my GT alternator and from what I've found out the GM Delco 10si style alternator is a great way to go. Internal regulator, good output even at low idle speed, well designed and cheap too. How did you do it? I'm all ears.
