Hey guys. Long story short, my car is a 30 year old P.O.S. I've rigged an internally regulated alternator into it, which has solved the problem of my car blowing up batteries. But it's not maintaining the batteries charge; it's slowly falling. I've been told that rigging up a ~500 ohm resistor between the voltmeter terminals will get the alternator to crank out a little more amperage. I may have a smaller radius pulley I use for the alternator, but I'm going to try the resistor bit first. Any thoughts?
