That's a good idea. I work at the oreillys by my house and I have put 2 different factory 55 amp alternators on there plus a new regulator and every time I check it it says the regulator failed and it's only pulling the 12.5 volts. I had the factory capacitor on the alternator which is likely bad but I don't know enough about those things to know if that would affect my voltage. I don't know what to look for for an si alternator since I'm not familiar with that swap. What can I do in the mean time to up my voltage and get the charging system up to par? My dad had almost the identical setup in his '68 when he was a kid and never had any of the problems I'm experiencing
