Hello.

Have Dave Barton's (thanks for bringing that up Art) external regulator installed in Inga. You can turn the engine off and the voltage will jump right back up when you start the car. Before the voltage would drop about .6 volts if you stopped the engine for a couple of minutes with the engine warmed up. Moving the regulator away from the manifold did the trick. This is a 100 Amp 740 Alt in a 1986 245DL,264K.

The regulator is set just under 14.2 volts right now.

Does anyone here in BB land have a voltage they recommend and why?

Regards,

Paul
