[C320-list] Alternator 12v 55 a

[Scott Thompson]

BTW, even if the tach feed on an engine comes off the flywheel there may 
be a terminal for this on the alternator that is not used. I'm pretty 
sure my Balmar alternator has a tach output (not used because the Yanmar 
has a flywheel tach), for example.
