Are the normal 12v alternators that are used on most of the Early Ford 12 volt conversions enough to keep the battery charged with these e-steering units. I saw in one post a 50 amp fuse required. That’s gotta be a lot of draw to keep up with? I think my alternator is a 100 amp. That’d be using half the output a lot of the time?
