Hi,
I had some time to play with my alternator setup this weekend. Turns out
that I have two lines coming from the dash, one is ignition, the other -
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS/WAS. In any case, with the proper wire on the
alternator, I get 13.9-ish volts everywhere! YAEAH!
I need to trace the wires now, but I have a sinking feeling that my
low-ish output from my Lucas ACR17 was a wiring problem and not an
alternator problem. No worries, though - the new alternator weighs a
couple pounds less and I can probably scrounge up a replacement at a NAPA
if the thing ever dies unexpectedly.
In any case, I've moved this upgrade to "VERY WORTHWHILE" status.
DB Electrical - Chevy mini-alternator (40 amp output). Less than $80 to
your house for a NEW alternator that works. Cheaper than a rebuild!
Gee, if I install the aluminum radiator and a braille battery in the next
week or so, I might get my car closer to my class min weight for the
SCCA Solo NEDivs... that'd be pretty kewl.
l8r,
rml
