Re: [ihc] High Amp Alternator

[George B Humphrey <xgbhx@xxxxxxxx>]

John,
	I hope you have a good high amp alternator to go with that 135 amp Mean
Green starter. ;^)  I thought about getting a Mean Green alt., until I
saw the price, ouch! $350.00

	Speaking of high amp starters, I finally tested the amperage draw of my
starter, as you recommended. Don't know if you remember but I was having
trouble getting the fast idle solenoid on the Holley Projection to stay
out during cranking. Everything checked out okay. The amperage draw of
the starter was just a little over 200. Still don't know what's causing
the problem. I liked your suggestion to the problem though and though it
was going to be the winner. I also like the amperage tester from
J.C.Whitney  you recommended. Good for testing alts. too.
