Well, lots to consider, had an alternator on and the readings bounced all over the scale. So my lil bro ( electrical engineer) says it is no good. Hence the query, once I began looking at the prices and recovered my breath, the question for that amt, of money where do I spend it. Alt. Does look ugly on the car, but is a generator ok? So as I was digging thru my stuff looking for a pulley lo and behold I find four generators, two of which on test seem to charge. If either of the two functions on the car, problem solved one had a tag reading “tested oct 91 good output” so I will try that one, might save couple hundred dollars, plus postage.
