Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari rebuilt alternators

[Dave Craig (dave.craig]

I had my alternator rebuilt (83 Mondial QV) three times before it took.  The
first two times it failed within 2K miles.  Then we took a more scientific
look at the failures and application and the local shop decided to put in
"high speed" aviation bearings on the third rebuild and that was 3 or 4
years ago and all is still well.

The Delco is under powered for the application.  Have the rebuild shop up it
to around 140 amp and you will be fine.  Heard of a couple guys doing this
on f-chat and it works.

I have an 89 Mondial and it looks like the rebuilt alternator went.
Talked to a couple of shops and there seems to be a consensus that 
rebuilt alternators fail more often than not but I couldn't get any whys.
I pulled it and it has a delco that was rebuilt about a year ago.
Any Ideas on this would be appreciated
