Ok,
Took a nice ride to Pocono Raceway and I made some less than ideal routes, driving down 42nd street at 8pm on a saturday night. In the stop and go of the route, I accumulated a good deal of heat inside the cockpit and foot well.
Oil and water temps were perfect but the excess heat forced the directionals to completel stop, forcing me to use the ol' hand signals to navigate. Aso the fuel guage showed that I had only 1/4 tank when I had recently filled up. I figure the cockpit electricals and switches are largely British so expecting them to work is a bit optimistic. Is there a main relay switch that can be insulated from the heat? is it under the dash, under the hood, buried in the fire wall? The other possibility is that with the fan going on a lot, maybe I just have an anemic alternator that doesn't keep up the charge on the battery? I think my alternator forces the other electrical components to draw way too much power so maybe my battery was just getting weak? I would like to see a nice monster alternator that doesn't show an amp gauge flicking with the directional, it almost functions like a generator. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know a lot of guys would reccommend keeping the least taxing alternator you can get, but if I had a 90 amp alternator, would I be able to notice a difference?
