dd, why would you say that? it's not much power gained from an alternator but sometimes every little bit counts. One trick intead of changeing the alternator is to use a larger pulley on it so it draws less current and hence not putting as much resistance on the engine.

I thought a alternator Produced current rather than drew current? The load created by the alternator is as a result of the current drawn by the engine and other electrical components (ie headlights, thermo, ect).
Wouldn't a larger pulley be used to reduce the alternator revs in a high rev motor, similar to reducing cavitaion in a water pump?
Could you actually increase power in this way? I would have thought the alternator would only cause power loss under load, whereby a larger wheel will make it harder to turn.
Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

I'll leave the other trick out for now, every racer has gotta have a secret

any parts ... to put on my a15 for a little increase in power
Sure, the entire twin-carb setup from an imported Japan A12GX, A12T or A14T motor would be good.

Other than that, not really...none of regular Datsuns have any significant "go fast" parts.

Changing alternators won't make it go faster.

I just posted some pics of my gearboxes in the hope it can help someone.

You and Ian seem to think the same about those vanette boxes don't you?
