Seems my 1979 Midget’s alternator has died. Symptoms: red light started flickering when I picked it up from my mechanic, drove about 20 miles, died. Wouldn’t jump start. Left the battery on a charger, unplugged alternator, starts right up.
The alternator says “Lucas Electric” on it. Was this standard for a 1979? I don’t see a separate generator / regulator circuit.
What’s the best thing to replace it with?
Bought it from original owner’s estate, 55K miles, most everything is original, so I expect this is too.
