replacing generator with alternator HELP !

[Dan Walker <dawnanddan@domain.elided>]

Hi everyone,

I've finally had it !  After getting voltage surges I replaced my voltage 
regulator in my Duetto with a new one.  It worked fine for a day and then 
the generator light went on and stayed on.  I pulled the generator and took 
it to a shop who told me that the armature went bad - it overheated 
possibly due to a bad or non-polarized voltage regulator ( Stuart Sandeman 
on the AROC tech hotline said polarizing the regulator isn't necessary ).

I want an alternator now.  Can anyone remember which one is a good fit for 
a 1600 ?  I seem to remember this discussion recently and mention was made 
of a Geo alternator ?

Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.  This has been the ONLY 
troublesome system on my car.

Ciao,

Dan
