Re: [doc] Alternator Location & Distributor cap/rotor

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The alternator is where it is because that's where Renault put it. The 
distributor has to be driven directly off a camshaft, or another very 
accurate drive that's exactly half crank speed......

Theres no particular reason not to have it on top of the rocker cover 
except potentially getting to the rockers, and also does it get in the 
way of the exhaust bracket? The Island kit amd probably the Legend cars 
do not need that top bracket
