Thanks to all responding to my postl In response to Rick's comments, I checked the battery as you said, and it showed 12 volts. I called a "pro" alternator shop who said he could test the alt., drove 25 mi. Each way to find out it puts out 14 volts, but was told he might ruin the built in voltage reg. If he ran a amp. test. Go figure To answer some of your guestions, no amp ga., just voltage.Low charge at all rpms once fan comes on. Idle is 890-910 rpm. I think I need to get a 100 amp alt. from Jeg's or someone, smaller alt pulley. I think I need to bypass CR wiring completely due to 14 ga. Problem is where do I get a good keyed power source . Some have said the battery side of the starter solenoid, or the alt terminal, but they are always keyed.------right? What about manual overide switch? 10 ga./40 amp relay?
