RE: [DML] Alternator Location & Distributor cap/rotor

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stain, If they were thinking ahead which I don't think they did a lot. The
alternator on top would incur a lot more heat and render it doomed quicker.
This is a problem with a lot of cars where they put the alternator right
under the engine hood. The engine heat with   poor circulation is terrible.
Being that I build high amp alternators,  there are some cars we won't
because of that. Now some of the Fords are putting a heat sensor in the
alternator to shut it off due to heat. We are really in a good place for
keeping it as cool as possible.
Remember heat rises.

Subject: [DML] Alternator Location & Distributor cap/rotor


When seeing the Legend Twin-Turbo set-up on Tamir's site
(www.entermyworld.com) I can't help but thinking WHY DeLorean didn't mounted
all alternators on top of the RH side of the PRV-engine instead of at the
bottom.
It looks so much nicer (and symmetric with the A/C compressor on the other
side)
Also, it is easier to get to.

If the alternator was to be moved to this new location, would there be any
problems concerning such a set-up?

Also, would it be possible to find another place in the engine compartment
for the distributor cap/rotor, in order for it to be easier to get to?
