From: AlfaCyberSite <[email protected]> Subject: [alfa] Questionable rebuilt alternator To: "AD" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 5:07 PM I just installed a fresh Bosch rebuilt alternator in my Alfetta GT. I had charged the battery up while installing - of course with the pos. cable off. It read 13.5 at the alternator before starting, but only 13.87 when revving the engine. I got 14.2 on the old one at just a high idle before it went bad. Alt. light went out immediately once started. I used the same pulley - the rebuilt one came with out one. Belt is tight (and in good condition). I need to run errands but will stop by the Interstate guys on the way out to have them check the battery (again). Thoughts? I sure don't want to send it back. I've been carless for a week. I'll check it again when I get back.
