I am in the market for a new alternator for my 2.7l. I currently have a SEV Marchal. It is not working. The fan housing that I have is from a 2.2e. Any recommendations of an alternator that I can install? I know very little about alternators on 6 cylinders. Any advice is much appreciated. Cheap and reliable is a major plus.

I've been running an internally regulated alternator since 86 with no problems. I dumped the relay board and wired everything direct. My first motor back in 86 was a 2.7 with webers. After it died in 2000, due to pulled head studs, I swapped it with a 3.2. Unless your a concours weenie, I would dump the relay / regulator board. Besides the regulator the board powers the fuel pump, heater fan and rear window defogger.
