Bit more to this story guys, i'm using a Ford Fairlane 60 amp bosch that I got in the wreckers, that looked about right. Didnt take too much effort to put in and gets rid of that old external regulator. It went pretty good for a while but when you buy second hand it might last a day or a year. Even at 5000 revs the voltage might drop as low as 13.0 measured on a muiltimeter not on the dash out of wack scale. The car is a ra40 with a 18r-c fitted. I'll measure the amp draw at idle and see if theres a draw in the ignition circuit. Its gives about 13.9 at idle untiln it warms up and then it drops to 13.6 or even 13 flat. Its not too easy to get out because I had to change a lot to make it fit in the first place. I think when it heats the diodes mess up and drop one or two of the fields. ( I think that theres three in a bosch alternator). Anybody got any ideas?
