Roland... what's with the flame of the Delco alternator? Just because someone doesn't know how to hook it up doesn't make it 'junk'. It's rugged, straightforward and when the time comes it can be exchanged at almost any U.S. auto parts store for ~$40 with a lifetime guarantee. Plus, the 914 is hardly an example of 'superior German engineering' when it comes to the electrical system. Most of the wiring looks like it was done in a home garage, with a bundle of loose, individual spade terminals for connecting to things like switches and taillight assemblies. My Bosch alternator shorted out last year and turned the wire leading back to the starter into a 700mm toaster element... and came damn close to burning through a high pressure injection line. I like my 914, but it's probably a good idea to only boast when you have something to boast about.
