Just read this post from start to finish - very interesting and informative. Great writing AndrewJ. What I like most about Andrew's work is that all the mods look so professional and well done.
I don't want to hijack the thread from Andrew's work but you might be interested to hear a historical tidbit about disconnecting alternators. In the late 60's there was a factory option for Pontiac GTOs that allowed belt-driven accessories to be turned off from a switch in the dash. It used an electric clutch to disconnected everything belt-driven, including the fan. Of course it was for racing, but it is interesting how things can come full circle. Now, 40 years later AndrewJ is working hard to recreate what you could order for $100 in 1968 as a drag-racing option!
I think ironic is the proper word to describe this situation!
