My wife owns a '78 Plymouth Horizon.  One of it's more irritating
problems is the rate at which it goes through alternators.  After
going through several rebuilt alternators, I have become convinced
that there is a pathalogical flaw in either the field of stator
coil design.  The reason for this conclusion is that the odds of
getting a working alternator from a rebuild shop is about 30%.
New regulators and brushes just don't seem to be enough.  Anyone
out there have the same problem?
