Generator and Lucas Light Questions

Post by twilson@motionwear.net » Tue Jul 03, 2001 6:53 am

My generator is putting out only 1.5 to 2.0 volts, so I think it may be time for a rebuild. Is this Lucas generator correct to a TC? It's younger than the car (March 1947 versus Sept 1945). Paint is too thick on the generator to accurately read the numbers, but here's what is printed on the generator (dashes are unreadable characters): Line 1: _ _ Y V _ _ L 1 Line 2: 228139 Line 3: 12 V - 3 47 Question 2: A Lucas WLR576 fog lamp is sitting in with my TC stuff. Anyone know if this was original equipment for a particular vehicle? Tom Wilson TC0272 Indianapolis, Indiana

Tom a Lucas 576 lamp is a 1950's to 1960's lamp, as for the generator if it has a tach drive and a brush band with the plastic housing for the field and armature, it is probably correct. Joe curto
