Re: [alfa] Bigger Capacity Spider alternaror was 164 Alternator Core

Nathan:

My mechanic has put in a higher capacity Delco that is the same size but 
higher output than my '92 spider alt.
I'm not sure the alternator is the issue with my (these) car(s).  I 
believe that there are wiring or grounding issues, there is a 2+ volt 
drop between alternator output (indicated on both dash gauge and meter 
on battery) vs output at cigarette lighter (and car is currently in the 
shop having rest of its wiring evaluated, slow electric windows & air 
conditioning fan and other symptoms.)
Anyone else been dealing with low voltage in series 4 spiders?

Best Wishes,
Bernie Bennett
