<VV> alternator replacement II

[Ron]

Yes, Ill comment.  The fact is that a Corvair engine compartment runs quite 
cool, cooler than on a water cooler except when you shut down in the summer 
time.  I've run 10SI and 12SI alternators for years with no troubles at all. 
I'd guess that an alternator in a Corvair will last longer than in a water 
pumper just because the engine compartment runs at close to ambient 
temperature.
