HEI conversion Dodge ram truck coil
On magnetic fields >
I just went round and round on coming up with a solution for a failed onboard ECU controlled voltage regulator of an '89 D100 Truck. Ended up going with a converted to 1 wire motorcraft 60 amp alternator, with the conversion of an external voltage regulator mounted on the back of the earlier motorcraft alternator. Eliminating the need of the ECU controlled voltage regulator.
The voltage regulator regulates how strong the magnetic field of the alternator is to maintain the proper 14.3 volt output. Was interesting energizing the magnetic field of the alternator and feeling the drag on it as rotating it by hand. Likewise you could put a steel wrench on the alternator pulley while energized and the wrench would stay there. Cut the power to energize and the wrench would fall off.
There is that magnetic field thing again, Fascinating...
