Many different Datsun alternators and alternators from other makes can easily be fitted to the Datsun 1200. If you are running high-power headlights, off-road lighting systems, or high-power stereo gear, using a high output alternator is called for. Or, if you need to replace the 1200 alternator and have free or inexpensive access to different alternators, you might consider a swap. Lastly you might have a bad Voltage regulator, and by swapping to an internally-regulated alternator reliability increases since these use a solid-state (no moving parts) regulator.
There are two major considerations in a swap:
- Physical swap. How does it bolt to the A12 engine?
- Electrical swap. How will the new alternator be connected to the wiring?
