Description & Operation: Generator

The generator is a Nippondenso type L3B-HE that is driven by a single, multi-ribbed belt which also drives all other front-end accessories, except for the supercharger (if fitted). The Generator output is 120 amps when generator rotation speed is approximately 5000 RPM at 77°F (25°C).

The generator is fitted at the right front side of the engine, to a separate mounting bracket, which in turn is bolted to the cylinder block. There are 2 bolts that secure the generator to the mounting bracket. One bolt can be reached from above and the other bolts can be reached from below the vehicle.
