Hello All,
I just wanted to report in to all of you about my charging system saga.
After years of 60 amp and an upgrade to a 100 amp ford alternator, all
with external voltage regulator I decided to contact Jon Haas at Pantera
Electronics. Jon absolutely understands the pantera Electrical system better
than anyone on the planet.
Two weeks ago I took my car out for a 15 mile drive . I had the lights on
and the radiator fans were going . All of a sudden my radio stopped and I
thought it had died. When I got home I turned off the engine to open my
garage door. I went to restart the car and the car battery was completely
drained to the point that the car would not crank .What died was the voltage
regulator so I DECIDED ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Jon has been telling me for the longest time to install the Delco 12si with
internal regulator . I purchased Jon's installation kit and I ordered the
alternator from DB Electric. The Delco alternator uses a smaller diameter
pivot bolt than the ford alternator .Instead of drilling into the AC Mount
I took the Delco to my local Alternator shop and they drilled the
alternator hole to accommodate the larger ford pivot bolt.
To make a long story short . The 94 amp alternator is now installed in the
car and with everything electrical running the voltmeter read 13 to 14
volts and the ammeter was charging . Before the alternator was installed the
car was always discharging unless I was running at over 2000 RPM .
The ammeter is steady now with no jittering at all like before .
This is all FYI and I would highly suggest this Delco 12si and Jon's Kit.
