I learned that there two choices for alternators, TCM and Electrosystems. Is there any difference between the two? Are there any pros and cons to consider? BTW, yesterday I inquired with Teledyne Mattituck about a FADEC system. The sales manager contacted the factory, and told me that they were working on a price for an "EQ kit" that includes the modified sump, low voltage harness, and magnetic pickups. He said he would get back to me next week. They are still tweaking the ECU software for certification, and expect to have something ready by January. It seems I have heard this FADEC story before...
