I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my tired alternator. But I am a not 100% sure I need to. I am still using the stock Fox type alternator which I have read is underpowered.
The problem is, when ever I turn on my headlights, the Volts (on the gauge) drop way down. I even hear the fuel pump get weaker. The battery is new and in its original location. But it is a pc680 battery. I never have a problem cranking though. I would like to put an electric fan, I'm just not sure the car can handle the load.
Could it be I need an alternator with more amps, or is my battery just not good enough to hold multiple loads?
