Hi Byron.

An Alternator had 9 diodes to convert the AC to DC, three for the regulator and 6 for the battery. The last time I looked a Diode was an electronic component. They are almost a transistor. The only reason for the generator is the mchanical rectifier, whic

I thought the RS2000 in its early guise was the only Escort with the 2L engine - if im wrong then I agree with you. What I was getting at was that the 2L RS2000 engine was from memory a standard 2L Cortina engine, and as such was a little bigger than the |

Byron,
Not denying there are awesome cars after 77, but to me and probably quite a few purist's, they would fall under the catagory of performance cars and not Muscle Cars.

You could get a v6 SS in the VS Commodore range. (might be VR but commodorenut will know exactly which one, they are very rare. I know he will be watching)
