[QUOTE="69ST, post: 122869, member: 5"] I wouldn't worry about the alternator flavor. Yeah, the Hitachi is more common and easier to service. Still, the Mits isn't exactly the K.O.D. Absolute worst case, you could swap-in an Hitachi alternator assembly and at any time; it'd be plug & play. You just need to get the flywheel & complete stator assembly to do it. There are also CDI conversion kits to consider. And...a complete Mitsubishi alternator, in decent shape, is still a salable commodity. IMO, the biggest victory is an engine with so little mileage. That all but guarantees a tight lower end, healthy gears, shift forks & crankshaft assembly. IOW, smooth/crisp shift quality and lots of happy miles ahead. Even if it sat with one valve open and now needs an overbore + valve job, due to rust, it's still an opportunity to own a virtually-new H-motor. In the grand scheme of things, the WCS really isn't all that much work, bucks or replacement parts. [/QUOTE]
