Where can you get AC DELCO alternator spares or one serviced? Wood Auto Supplies Limited Cromwell Works Colne Road Huddersfield HD1 3ES 01484 428 261 Website Photo: Andrew provides a photo of the alternator as returned from Auto Wood - he adds "unfortunately I cannot find the 'before' photos, but I can assure you it didn't previously look like this". Wood Auto - alternator servicing Andrew Collins says "according to my records, the last time I did any work on the V8 alternator was in 1988 when I fitted a new regulator and new brushes. Although it continues to work fine, I thought at least a little preventive maintenance would not be out of place. It is not getting any easier to find parts for these Delco alternators, but a quick internet search took me to Wood Auto of Huddersfield, whose website at www.woodauto.com lists all the key components for the Delco 7982707 (rotor, stator, regulator, rectifier, brushes, brush holder, front bearing and rear bearing), and all at prices which appeared pretty reasonable. After a phone conversation with them I decided to send the alternator to them for service. They did this promptly and when I received the unit back from them it was very clean and tidy, worn parts replaced and thoroughly tested. "I sent the alternator to Wood Auto in a carton which Hermes delivered it to Huddersfield for £5.77 and Wood Autos sent it back to me for free". Searching the Wood Auto website we found the MGBGTV8 is not listed on the "vehicle look up" webpage, only the MGB and RV8, then putting Delco 7982707 in the search box at the top RHS of the core webpages produces a result "No items found. Please try again" and repeating both key word search options for "AC DELCO" and "DELCO" each results in "No items found. Please try again". Andrew says "I put 7982707 in the search box, and when the search results page opened I clicked on the link '7982707' in red".

More Uprated alternator for an MGBGTV8 Colin Goodey has a 1975 MGBGT Jubilee which he converted to full Factory V8 specification about five years ago. Although it ran problem free as a rubber bumper car, Colin was always conscious of the under bonnet temperat ure when he was driving in heavy traffic. He found the original specification twin cooling fans were almost permanently on during the summer months. Whilst the temperature gauge never got to a worryingly high level he wanted to see what could be done relieve the load on the fans and wiring without going down the normal route of an expensive hi-flow radiator and other upgrades. Here Colin explains what he did. More V8 Register - MG Car Club --- the leading group for MGV9 enthusiasts
