[DML] Re: alternator replacement...

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Very very good J.
As I tell everyone, no matter how well you think you know the DeLorean
there is always new information to be discovered. I always figured that
Lucas must make at least one good product; you may have discovered it. 
Now that you "let the cat out of the bag" you need to give us a model or
stock number. Thanks for the info.
