It's very strange... I got above 2K rpm and it charged about 3 volts
then stopped... it did go higher as RPM's increased, but never high
enough. I tried the other alternator... it works fine too in test, but
just not on the car... exact same problem occured! stopping for the
night now... I'd really love the car running again, cause we have a
meet on Saturday!

ps.. luckily, I have another roadster with an original alternator...
you bet it will be borrowed for the WyCROC meet this Saturday! :)
