110 V8 alternator quessies

Aug 13, 2005 0 Replies

Hi All



Been mucking about with my alternator this arvo, it's a Lucas AS123 fitted to an '84 110 V8 - the engine is originally from an SD1


3 questions:- First, what does the "aux" connector do/supply from the alternator, as mine is not connected?

Second, what is the max amp output of the Lucas AS123, and does anybody rate it?



Third, as I'm fitting uprated headlights, spots, work lights, an air compressor, camping fridge, convertor etc (all through a dinky little relay panel) what would be a good direct drop-in replacement alternator type, and what amp output should I go for?



I've already got dual batteries with an isolator switch for the additional services, but I don't want to meltdown the existing alternator trying to keep the batteries charged.



TIA
