Re: More Power...

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

I have the same problem as well, especialy at night when I have the 
A/C on plus my head lights at an idle. I then drop to about 11.5V, 
and everything goes dim. When I hit the gas power increases, but 
only goes up to 13V. With the engine idling with no accesories on, 
the voltometer reads about 14V. I have the 90 amp Motorloa 
alternator, and the workshop manual says that normal operating range 
is between 13.5-15 volts, but it doesn't state wheather this readings 
are taken durring accessory operation or not. Either way, is this 
drop normal? The Duceller 80 amp alternators were not able to keep up 
with everything, but was the Motorola only put in to get the car by, 
or was it intended to fully "feed" the entire system?

some times at Idle the meter reads under 13 VOlts. Is that pretty 
common? Have any of you purchased a better alternator, or another 
fix?
