Help needed with sb 318
BTW, on the alternator.......pretty certain that is not the original. Other than headlights, of which it has 7 under normal night time operations, there is very little electrical load, except there could be times when unloading when the engine is asked to run at fast idle for 30 minutes or more with full headlights on. That might put a big drain on the battery, ergo the big alternator. Original build included a stand alone voltage regulator, but that is now completely bypassed.
As mounted, I noticed the alternator does bounce a bit, and fan looks kinda loose and floppy. So will need to get that resolved too.
