1974 L18 Hitachi Alternator: 14105 Mitsubishi Substitute: Extra Connector


Cardinal Grammeter

Recommended Posts

QUESTION:  Can I use the Mitsu w/o connecting the single connector?

Autozone has the 14105 $34 lifetime alternator.

 

However you will either get a Hitachi or Mitsubishi variant.

 

The "proper" Mitsu has the same connectors as the Hit:  the "T" connector, Bat, and Ground

 

I got one with an extra single blade connector at the diode vent area - this connector has a port for a clip to snap in just like the "T" connector

 

The pulley depth was wrong too (too fat outward.)

 

I called the 800 tech line and they said to use it and don't worry about the single blade connector.

 

Other alternators I have purchased have sheets explaining different wiring schemes such as not connecting stuff - this alternator had no such sheet.

Simplfied answer....


The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.


The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the "up" end of the grammeters............

$34 ????? Lifetime warranty??? After the 5th one and you've payed for yet another tow home and lost time at work you'll see what a $34 alternator is really worth. The 'real' Hitachi for the Datsun is around $250. You truly get what you pay for.

abbeyfind, I couldn't have said it better :thumbup:

 

datzenmike, I know you know I'm a world class cheapskate, right? :devil: (main reason I learned to weld...)

 

In my defense:  It doesn't have an internal voltage regulator so I'm willing to take a chance on diodes and bearings.

 

Still, I'd like to know what that other terminal is.  If it's Sense, then that would be cool and I'd add the circuit.  I couldn't find a letter near that connector, but I didn't look that hard.

Hrvat9,

 

Do you have a year and engine displacement and SOHC vs DOHC vs Turbo for lookup on RockAuto? (or a part number from where you bot it if from a box store.)

 

Thanks

Tom

Well I know a 4g63t is a 2.0 and dohc since I owned one before. If you find a eagle talon in the junkyard they have that same engine. The year though would be 90s , not exactly sure which year. I only used it because it was what I had and luckily fit very nicely !
