Just chatted with someone at MWB who couldn't tell me what the significance was between the Non-AC and AC designated X 1/9 alternators.
I imagine the available space in the engine bay is a factor, but what's the main difference between units - do they both bolt in the same, are wired the same, talk to the X1/9's electronics the same?
Mainly, what is the reason you can or cannot use a AC alternator in a NON-AC equipped X 1/9?
And add to that - using later year alternators (Bosch & Marelli or anything else which was installed by FIAT or Bertone) on an early year car like our '74 - that's not an issue, correct?
