Re: Alternator question

Ok, here we go. Finished the wiring today. Did a test start. Everything still needs to be taped up and routed, but I wanted a test run. Here are the numbers.

Good - I hope - Please!

Before starting - 12.47v
Idle no accessories - 14.84v
Idle everything on - 13.04v
1500 rpm everything on 14.88v

So it's charging - not too high I hope?

The ammeter works correctly as well, showing heavy charge right after starting,then settling down just above center. Also moved up when everything turned on, then settled as well.

Here are some pics of the terminal strip. I ran the power from alternator and power to cab to the bottom bolt.
The radiator fans are on the top.
The a/c fan is in the middle.

I can't thank you DJLambert and Vette enough. No way without the help.

P.S. I reread all the posts and see that I asked questions already answered etc. Thank you for your kind patience! Oh, the blue box will cover the thing for extra protection when done.
