RE: [DML] Power issues (electrical)

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, One more thing. We have no computer to sense the output so the De Lorean
doesn't use the other wires. If you do you will burn up the regulator.
That's why we have and older cars have a one wire alternator. I also have a
special plug to help prevent regulator and electrical problems.

I have one of John's alternators on my car.  While I
am quite pleased with it, I do notice that at idle I
also get some dimming of lights if other electrical
systems are on.  In a current issue of Car Craft (I
think), there is an article about "one wire"
alternators vs "three wire" alternators.  Without
going into the details of the theory, it was stated
that one wire alternators always have to get up to
some minimum engine speed rpms before they truly begin
charging.  The number quoted, if I remember correctly,
was around 1500 rpms.
