Re: [T3] type 3 alternators


I will admit... if starting afresh Id use an alternator instead of a
generator, its why they are all that way today.
8 Amps?  Really?  I wonder why so much...  thats 140Watts, seems alot for an
ignition system.  How much do our Kettering systems use? Ive never measured.
