All,

Yesterday I installed an alternator that I rebuilt about a year ago.

On initial startup I read 11.56 Vdc at the battery with the lights on.

I went and turned the lights off and while doing so the car hesitated, but did not die, and then recovered.

When I checked the voltage again I was getting 13.59 Vdc, definitely charging, but below the Bentley manual specification of 13.8 - 14.8 (VDC)

My question is this, is there a potential break in period for the new brushes to fully mate with the new copper ring that I placed on the alternator?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
