I dont think i read the post above 1200rc but re: what he said about taxi's. Surely wrecking yards on the mainland would be littered with old EA/EB taxi's. This would have to make them cheap.

By the way I dont think it just has to be a EA/EB alternator. I have a EB (1992) motor in my XB (1974) Falcon and the altenator in the original 6 cylinder XB was used on the EB mounting. So if you dont want the hassle of computer wiring the pre 1990 models were carby cars, maybe that might help. Come to mention it I have a spare XC (1978) model falcon 6cyl I might have to steal the altenator out of it and bolt in onto my Datto!
