A friend of mine has some of those old 1.5 Rabbits.......I will see if he
has a spare alternator around for you if you would like.

Good source for parts is www.germanautoparts.com. Email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I wouldn't recommend them for MB parts;
despite they name they are really pretty much VW/Audi oriented.
Or maybe Rusty -- don't know if he handles VW parts.

Well, we've had our hands on the free '78 Rabbit for a whole week now.
This
was the one that had been sitting for a couple years due to a bad
alternator. The alternator has been removed which, I believe, could be
the
source of our problem. We installed new battery cables, but nothing is
working in the car, no accessories, lights, turn signals, nada. It will
run
when gas is put into the throttle body, but it can only be started by
jumping the solenoid. I'm guessing that the alt completes the circuits,
and
everything will work normally once the "CORRECT alternator is installed
and
connected. This is a problem since the original one isn't around to
match
up to buy the correct one. These old, German cars just seem to call my
name.
