32 A is the max output and that won't supply lights and engine cooling
fans reliably unless you keep the engine at constant redline.

	Janne is the original Finnish redneck, the type of guy you can't
say "can't" to!  This morning he was telling me about his '69 Mustang
fastback, which has a 408 stroker Windsor running 12:1 compression.  I
asked him where he got his race gas, and he said,
	
	
	I usually want to try all kinds of controversial things and this
is one. I use the single grooves in the combustion chamber. One in the
chamber and one in the piston. No issues with detonation on 98 RON pump
gas which is close to your 93 with different octane rating system.
Haven't  tried lower octane. The cam is mech roller 248/254 @.050 with
110 LSA. People in the know say it should detonate (the cam is not that
big either to help much), but I have had no issues. And believe me, I
have beaten the hell out of it. With the hi compression, with that cam
and super victor it pulls nicely from 1600rpm up when cruising in big
gear. The comp proabably helps a lot the low end. I intend to put in a
cam with 265/275 @.050 and 106 LSA and see if I can still drive it on
street. :-)
	 However, it wants to run on like you would expect, but I put a
throttle solenoid to my carb, which lets the butterflys close fully when
you turn off ignition. That cured the run on behaviour.
	
	Some guys say you cant run dominator on small block on the
street, but I have had no issue. I've calibrated it with wideband, which
was some work, but it works. The only issue is that with ultra hp
dominator I have, you have to plug the scoop in rain, because water
wants to float on the flat top of the carb and cover air bleeds. Makes
the thing pig rich and wants to soon foul plugs if you don't take care
of it.

	So, I suspect he would not be put off by people saying his
combined water pump/alternator idea wouldn't work.  He would MAKE it
work! :>)
