[C320-list] External regulator for 55 amp altenator

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hi John,

  You could externally regulate it, but keep in mind that the windings on an
internally regulated alternator are a much lighter wire gauge and typically
can't handle the additional heat well.

I prefer the Amptech alternator with the Balmar's regulator.  Amptech is a
much more rugged alternator with higher output capability.

 Has anyone in Southern California replace their internal regulator with a
external regulator designed to make the 55 amp alternator charge better? I'm
looking for someone or a place to have it done here in the LA area. Thanks,
