Dave:
I have no information to refute your arguments in the message below; in
fact, they sound pretty solid, to me.
I just take exception to your PREVIOUS post-- using all the endurance series
as examples, while ignoring the organizations that demand only short-burst
power.

Subject: Re: Total Loss or Alternator
better go open some hoods at your next drag race.. You might be the only guy
with one other than some guy with a holley 750, mechanical fuel pump, accel
dual
point distributor and a battery charger.. If they want some sparks either
they
have a good spark box and an alternator or a mag if it is a TF or TA car. As
far
as some of the old bike ignitions i would bet my zippo has more spark than
they
do or if it is real good maybe my weed wacker at worst case.. Think real
hard
about the phrase 'total loss' for a
minute............................................................ ok can
you
hear me now? LOL how much spark do you think you have at 11 volts?? As the
voltage goes down in a 'totally lost' system the amps have to go up
discharging
the battery faster. Real bad juju with this deal.. When we run an engine on
the
dyno that does not have an alternator I can make more power with the battery
charger on rather than off...
