I just added a 320 amp alternator to my car last weekend. 84 svo mustang with a 92 ford 5.0 engine
It is a 1 wire alternator so it self excites and doesnt need to be plugged in like the previous alternator (was a ford 130 amp 3g alternator
it seems to be running hotter then it use too, it use to only run around the o in normal, now it gets up to the a in normal on the gauge
not sure why this would be i am going tot ry to change the thermostat and see if that helps, anyone else have any input?
the car now runs around 14.5 volts instead of the 14.0 it ran at with old alternator
