Brian,

You're absolutely correct about the pulley and speed; I'l have to join Allen on that brain fart.

As to the voltages I mentioned, I'm just pulling things off the top of my head based on my experiences with GM systems that I've messed with over the years. I did check on something, though, that I thought I'd recorded years ago when I converted my '59 Chev PU to an alternator, using a '67 Camaro donor: after the thing was all set up and running, the voltage at idle was 13.8v, and at speed, it topped at 14.8v. This is with a 37A alternator; it is still running that way today, some 20 years later. I'v never had any problems with shortened battery life, or component life. Not trying to be contrary, just passin' on a bit of experience.
