Matt , if you spent as much time & effort on trying to be of a real help to other members here on TB, as you do following people around on this forum to troll them and posting "because racecar" every chance you think you see it fit, you might actually be considered useful to Turbobricks.
But let's face it, that is just far too much to expect from you..
i had trouble with alternators on my 760 v8 turbo, the ford alternator position was so close to the turbine that it would heat soak TERRIBLY in traffic on hot days. it was fine going down the road but voltage would drop severely in traffic if the fan came on. the thing is that something like what he made wouldn't have helped because my problem with heat soak was happening when the car wasn't moving. ended up putting a hood vent in over it to solve the issue.
although i just move my alt to the 700 position
Now why would you do that for
Because the 740/940 accessory layout is far superior to the 240's.
You didn't catch up on irony in my post eh?
I don't think irony is the word you're looking for. But no, the internet is hard sometimes. Life is hard.

That's about all that's superior to 240...

Very clever. Very little weight/cost.
If it didn't work, who cares? But since it did,
But wouldn't an external VR achieve the same results?
Because lets face it, it's not an ideal location for an alternator.
I started using one of these on my 242 turbo:

Still use one on my 780.
