Hey Guys, looks like my alternator is on its way out, bummer. Is there a crossover to some kind of ordinary car with these? All the best Bell
Hi Bell, Not sure if this applies - but my alternator went kaput and was able to get it 'pimped' out on the cheap by a company out in the midwest. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/mondial/439638-upgrading-alternator-information.html Here is a whole thread..I believe the Mondial's used Delco alternators. So far after 2,500 miles - no problem - the alternator light comes on during ultra high revs (7,000+) but only for a split second ---- charges great and from what I can tell - works good. Cheers
The alts for the 8, QV and the 3.2 (all Bosch, like Bell's car) are way different from the t (early had Delco and later Denso). However, having it rebuilt is the way to go for all. But in some cases the t can be upgraded from the former to the latter (that's what Ferrari did).
Paul, Wade, that's great and I'd forgotten about this thread so many thanks for the link. I will get onto fixing Kato as soon as the weather improves. Will keep you posted. Cheers, Bell.
Hi Wade, Best wishes, and I hope all is well in the "Polar Vortex"!! I was really pleased with the advice and service at: USA Built High Output Alternators, Upgrades, Conversions, Starters, Parts, Kits and More! I would take a lot of pictures and get as much info as you can, heck you can even send it back to them...they can replace it with some heavy duty 'guts' --- it's worked fine with my Mondial for some time now... Only fault is during heavy revving the alternator light may 'flicker' for about a split second...nothing that has hurt me in the past 2,500 miles and it's been charging the battery with no problems...
Yes Guys will be rebuilding, but first I have another Ferrari to go and get te he, yes that's right Chaps the ''Cavello'' thread is about to come out of hibernation.... However I've not got it yet....
