1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
With the upgraded alternator, I wondered if the electronic voltage regulator would be able to handle the increased field current. Decided to measure the field current on the upgraded one and the restored original.
Simply connected full battery voltage to the field (engine not running!!) which would be full field forcing.
Stock 3.8-4.0 amps at 12.4 VDC
HO 4.6- 4.7 amps at 12.6VDC
About 1 amp difference at full output. Hopefully will be OK
