I'm not concerned with the marginal AC voltage as much as the high DC voltage. I wouldn't want to see DC voltage much exceed 14.7v at the battery terminals at 1,500 rpm or so. You might want to check out a different brand VR. If you decide to go with an alternator swap, I'd go with a 93-95 Aerostar 95A 3G unit with internal regulator... pretty much a direct bolt-in with some minor wiring changes.Well I am assuming this answers my question on the alternator?
With the engine on the DC fluctuates between 14.8 up to 16V
AC fluctuates between .1 and .5V
I suppose the next question is, if I were going to replace the alternator, which one? I would want to go with PowerMaster for sure but there are so many to choose from! If I understand correctly, this is a 3G alternator setup?
