[Robert M. Lang]

Hi,

I had some time to play with my alternator setup this weekend. Turns out 
that I have two lines coming from the dash, one is ignition, the other - 
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS/WAS. In any case, with the proper wire on the 
alternator, I get 13.9-ish volts everywhere! YAEAH!

I need to trace the wires now, but I have a sinking feeling that my 
low-ish output from my Lucas ACR17 was a wiring problem and not an 
alternator problem. No worries, though - the new alternator weighs a 
couple pounds less and I can probably scrounge up a replacement at a NAPA 
if the thing ever dies unexpectedly.

In any case, I've moved this upgrade to "VERY WORTHWHILE" status.

DB Electrical - Chevy mini-alternator (40 amp output). Less than $80 to 
your house for a NEW alternator that works. Cheaper than a rebuild!

Gee, if I install the aluminum radiator and a braille battery in the next 
week or so, I might get my car closer to my class min weight for the 
SCCA Solo NEDivs... that'd be pretty kewl.

l8r,
rml
