Alternator ?

[texdog]

Please give me a part number for the Vans alternator! 60 amp.. I think it is from a Nissan, but I don't know which one, it is in a RV6A completed in 2010. I plan on putting a better alternator on after this month but I have an important trip this week and don't have time for the mounting modifications. Thanks, Texdog

I think for the 35 amp alternator it was 14184. Don't know if yours is 35, 60, or something in between, external voltage regulator or internal, etc.

From an earlier post



The Honda civic alternator ( 35 amp) rotates the proper way for aircraft engines The lester n. is 14184 It is a B type alternator and is externally regulated. Can be used with the B& C regulator. Autozone has them for around $ 30 with no core. Do a search on VAF with 14184

Is the regulator for that 14184 a solid state potted little unit with only two wires and a ground? About 2.5" x 2.5" square?

The 1975 Ford regulator is in a metal housing with a row of push-on connectors.
