"Phase one's" done and at least I've got an electrical system that's up to snuff. Before with the car running at idle I was getting 10.9 volts at the engine fan and 11.9 volts alternator output. I'm now running 14.2 volts at the fan w/ the fan running and the car idling. The alternator output is also 14.2 volts. I've not run the car up to temp yet as I broke the cap tube on my fan thermostat. The things done today are as follows:

1. Removed March's 5.5" lower pulley and replaced it with an OEM 6.75"
pulley. The result is increasing the water pump speed from 8% underdriven
to 12% overdriven.

2. Replaced the alternator with a new 140 amp 1 wire hookup. It also
produces 80 amps at idle.

3. Ran a new #4 stranded copper lead from the battery to the new
alternator.

4. Ran a new #8 stranded copper lead from the battery to the engine
cooling fan.

5. Installed a new "hi-flow" 180 deg thermostat.

I've got to wire in a new fan thermostat, add the glycol and pour in some water wetter.

I'll post results after some high temps and prolonged idling.
