As I understand it, you can increase reliability by replacing components like starter and alternator with Japanese manufactured ones......is that true?

I've heard that an AC Delco alternator for a Chevy Chevette is a direct replacement for the factory item on an MGB, and it will actually keep your battery charged, unlike the factory item.

Let me guess, original MGs used Lucas electrical components. Yes, Lucas, the Prince of Darkness, the inventor of the short circuit, the first to offer three-way headlight switches, dim, flicker, and off, and so on ad infinitum.
