re: Quirky Holley and Alternator question

[jeff tarquinio <tarquinio_jeff@domain.elided>]

I'm runnin a 2210 too, I just live with the little problems, but I dont 
have anything as serious as yours.  Hard starting sometimes and tough cold 
running, usually good after warmup though.  'Bout the altenator, you dont 
have a one wire (internally regulated) job?  Mine is internally reg'd and 
sometimes it pulls funny stunts on me like you describe, agood bench side 
cleaning, pull the case apart clean the brushes and armature of oil from my 
plow pump, and problems are solved temporarily until it gets oiled up 
again.  I clean it about once a year.  That might help.
	I learned this trick after putting three JC Whitney high output 
rebuild kits into it at the same yearly interval.

Tark,

Sorry if I confused you, it's my Holley 2210 CARB that is quirky. I guess
I worded that one poorly. Doh!  I have no experience with the Holley EFI.
 

Next subject:  I suspect that my voltage regulator is hosed up. Since I
have a spare alternator, can I switch regulators between the two? The
alternator was working fine except that occassionally it would not begin
putting out voltage until about 3000 rpms, then, it would put out LOTS of
voltage (according to the gauge and the tremendous increase in brightness
of the headlights) then slowly drop down to a slight positive reading.
Now, it doesn't put out any charge according to the gauge and the general
dullness of lights.
