Thumbs up Re: Erratic Tach

Hi Veek,

Thanks for posting the Mustang pic, Wow. One of my techs also works on warbirds for a private collector near here. He has a Messerschmidt Me109 with Daimler V12 (only one flying I beilieve), Spitfire and a Hurricane. Fantastic stuff.

About the alternator, getting it up to speed for good charging at idle won't fry it at the occasional times you run at high RPM. With the smaller crank pulley on aftermarket mills you're probably turning the alternator no faster than the stock engine with a larger crank pully at a lower redline.

Cheers
