Alfa Romeo 105 Electrical Spare Parts for Classic Alfa Romeo Models

The electrical system of the Alfa Romeo 105 series supplies the engine, lighting and on-board network and is used in the Giulia, Berlina, GT Bertone and Spider 105/115. It includes the generator, starter, ignition, regulator, switches, relays, fuses, wiring harness and lighting. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo models, Alfa-Service carries a wide range of electrical parts. Many components are comparable across the series, while the wiring harness and lights are strongly model and model-year dependent.

Alfa Romeo 105 Electrics at a Glance

The 105 models use a 12-volt on-board network. The generator produces the current, the starter cranks the engine, and the ignition with distributor and coil provides the spark. Regulator, switches, relays and fuses control and protect the network, the wiring harness connects the components, and the lighting includes headlamps and lamps. The basic function is comparable across the series, but individual versions differ by model year and model.

Electrical Part Types

The range is divided into the following part types:

Generator, early as a dynamo, later as an alternator
Starter
Ignition with distributor and coil
Regulator and relays
Switches and fuses
Wiring harness and cables
Lighting, headlamps and lamps

Shared Across the Series or Model-Dependent

For current generation, the type is decisive: early cars use a dynamo with a matching regulator, later ones an alternator. The starter, distributor and coil are engine-near and often comparable across the series, but can differ by engine. The wiring harness and lighting, by contrast, are strongly model and model-year dependent, since the body, switch assignment and lamps differ between coupe, saloon and Spider as well as over the production period. The Giulia, Berlina, GT Bertone and Spider 105/115 thus share many engine-near parts, while the wiring harness, switches and lamps are to be chosen precisely by model and model year.

In practice it is advisable to divide the electrics into current generation, ignition, switching and fuse elements, wiring harness and lighting. The generator and regulator must match, that is, the dynamo or alternator version. Ignition parts depend on the distributor type and engine. For the wiring harness and lamps, the precise comparison with model and model year is particularly important, as many variants exist here. This makes it possible to assign electrical parts specifically and without wrong purchases.

Notes on Part Selection

Decisive are the model year, model and engine as well as the type of current generation (dynamo or alternator). The generator and regulator are chosen to match, ignition parts by distributor type. The wiring harness, switches and lamps are model and model-year dependent and should be compared precisely. Anyone who first establishes the model year, model and current generation can put together the generator, starter, ignition, regulator, switches, wiring harness and lighting reliably.

In the interplay, the electrical system supplies the engine, the lighting and the entire on-board network with current. The generator produces the electrical energy and charges the battery via the regulator, the starter cranks the engine for starting. The ignition with distributor and coil produces the spark, while switches, relays and fuses control and protect the individual circuits. The wiring harness connects all components, and the lighting includes headlamps, rear lamps and interior lighting. Switches, relays and bulbs are among the regularly requested items. For assignment, the type of current generation is the most important feature.

Early cars use a dynamo with a matching regulator, later ones an alternator whose regulator differs; the generator and regulator must therefore match. The starter, distributor and coil are engine-near and often comparable across the series, but can differ by engine. The wiring harness and lighting, by contrast, are strongly model and model-year dependent, because the body, switch assignment and lamps differ between coupe, saloon and Spider as well as over the production period. Many variants exist here, which is why a precise comparison is particularly important.

In practice it is advisable to divide the electrics into current generation, ignition, switching and fuse elements, wiring harness and lighting. The generator and regulator are chosen to match, ignition parts by distributor type and engine. The wiring harness, switches and lamps are matched precisely to model and model year. The Giulia, Berlina, GT Bertone and Spider 105/115 share many engine-near parts, while the wiring harness and lamps are selected by model and model year, so that electrical parts can be put together reliably and without wrong purchases.

As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo models, Alfa-Service assigns the electrical parts clearly by assembly and model family. The range covers the whole 105 series, so that the generator, starter, ignition, regulator, switches, relays, fuses, wiring harness and lighting for the Giulia, Berlina, GT Bertone and Spider 105/115 can be found reliably. Engine-near parts such as the starter and ignition can be determined via the engine variant, while the wiring harness, switches and lamps are narrowed down via model and model year. Since current generation changes from dynamo to alternator over the production period, the generator and regulator must always match.

Are electrical parts usable across the series?

Engine-near parts such as starter and ignition are often comparable, while the wiring harness and lamps are strongly model and model-year dependent.

What should be observed with the generator?

The type: early cars use a dynamo, later ones an alternator; the regulator must match.

Why is the wiring harness model-dependent?

Because the body, switch assignment and lamps differ between models and model years.
