Re: IML: 62 Alternator Question

That is likely a radio noise supression condensor. The new alternator 
will not come with that. Also, if your car has factory A/C you may need 
to have the dual belt pulley switched from your old alternator to the 
new one. Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. Good luck!

Subject: IML: 62 Alternator Question


Fellow Imperialists,

My electrical system is not charging.  The battery is new and gives 
12.5 v without the car running.  I replaced the voltage regulator, and 
cleaned the connections on the firewall, the regulator, battery and the 
alternator, but when I start the car it drops to 12.3 v then down to 
12.1 volts with the headlights on (and the ammeter needle never goes 
towards C, just drops toward D the more accessories I turn on.

I think I need a new alternator, and I was curious what the little 
cylinder is at the end of one of the wires on the alternator.  It looks 
like a capacitor.  Does this come with a new alternator?

Thanks,
Graham Quimby
