<VV> alternator swap

[FrankCB]

John,

Sounds like a good idea, but does the fan on the CS130 rotate in the correct direction for proper cooling if you do this?

Given the fanbelt on these cars, why not put an idler where the alternator is, and use a CS130, 105 amp alternator mounted like the A/C compressor? FAR better idle output, and the existing fanbelt just drives the fan!

Hank, is the 78 amp internally regulated, or does it still use the 
regulator? I've already converted this EM 62 to the 37 amp, which works 
great. I have no plans to add high power stero equipment, but Computerized 
engine controls take a bit of power too. Its on the drawing board for this 
next year when I overhaul the engine. I'm planning MPFI and distributerless 
ignition, in tank fuel pump, etc. Mark Durham
