I guess going to a more modern alternator. A Cortina bod no doubt should point you in the right direction (Probably done on cars with a Cossie engine).

I was actually thinking of this for my old Accord but it would no doubt be of wider interest and applications.
Any ideas when internally regulated Alternators started to be introduced (would obviously vary with manufacturer), or other potential wiring changes required to adapt them to older cars ?

An internally regulated alternator only needs a connection for the battery (the heavy cable) and a wire to the charge light. If you're not interested in a charge light you can just wire in a resistor between the charge light post and the output terminal. Simples!  |
