I have a lot of extra equipment and want to do away with the stock Motorola alternator. I thought about having the Motorola rebuilt and made stronger, but would rather get a Delco or other type 105 or 110 alternator. If anyone could give me some advice and what it took to make the other alternator work, (details please)I would greatly appreciate it.

If the car starts after a few tries the problem is not the fuel accumulator. .

In February and March of 1981, for quality control purposes, several hundred inner body / chassis cars, known in the factory as "black cars", were built for training purposes. Although there were less than 500 of these training units it was decided to start the regular production numbers at 500. So although these cars were never completed they did have ID (vin's) numbers somewhere between 1 and 500. As far as your comment that "The reporters claimed the DeLorean was "a worthless piece of junk that would be best left in the garbage can". This is completely untrue. Yes, there was some criticism and speculation, but nothing like you described. We have copies of all the reviews from all of the automotive writers and industry magazines during that period of time. Actually most of the comments were positive. Your friend may have credability but his rendition of DeLorean history is very inaccurate.

Erik, I just spent Father's Day replacing my accumulator. I am not trying to discourage you or anything but what I thought was a two hour job turned out to be a 6 hour project. This did include a trip to the store for a vise and fuel hose (see below). Check the achieves for a description by Phil Wiltfong from June 11, 1998 for a great procedure for this job. A couple of things to add to Phil's description. - when you pull the accumulator down out of the frame be careful not to kink the flexible fuel hose (which I did, thus the need for new hose).I would recommend replacing the hoses while you are in there. It is 1/4" ID. - when you pull off the return hose from the back of the accumulator, have something ready to catch approx. a quart of fuel. I didn't think it would ever stop coming out! - the biggest problem I had was taking off the threaded side of the tube compression fittings. The one on the right angle that you have to loosen up in the frame took 30 minutes of work (and a few choice words) but it finally turned. The two fittings on the accumulator would not budge at all. I had to cut the flexible hose attached to the front side to free the accumulator from the car. I but it in my new vise and got them off with a breaker bar. Putting it back together was not as bad as taking it off. Again I do not want to discourage you from trying it yourself. When you finally get it done and back together there is a great feeling on accomplishment.
