Thank you roflwaffle,

I've been wanting an answer to that coil voltage issue since I started this project.

Anyone who thinks that alternator loads don't affect FE should read this report by several big wig automotive electrical engineers. Lots of good info in it. IEEE Spectrum: Automotive Electrical Systems Circa 2005

Another reason to do this in my vehicle is the belt friction and rotational inertia of all those shafts, pulleys etc.

Thanks.
