140 amp or 200 amp alternator Powermaster?

The chrome looks good, but chrome is a very good insulator and will keep heat from transferring out of the unit.

Maybe because of our extreme heat here in the desert that is not normal for extended periods in other parts of the country, but I do not know of any local T-R with a chrome alt that will last more than 2 summer seasons!

Years ago i had my stock one chrome plated, but after replacing the internal regulator every year, i gave up on it?

A friend wanted it for his GN, and sure enough, it died on him the first year.

Another local owner ended up with 2 Powermaster alts as he drives his GN a LOT [over 250k miles], and carries the spare in his trunk!

Interesting point about holding in the heat.

The Wilwood master cylinder is a 1 1/8th bore. Found on eBay. The hydro boost is from Tallon hydraulics.

I scored a rockstar price on the 140a chrome powermaster and I will say this.... It is night and day quiet compared to the one bought from Advance autoparts. I may just replace the advance unit and sell it off cheap to someone with a warranty.
