Adjustable voltage regulator...how to adjust?
See if you can get them to give you a full test report which would include a max current vs. rpm test like above.
That test report came with a Chrysler revised squareback rebuilt in 2009.
Yes its possible that an alternator will work but with lower output. One bad diode, or like I found recently, the connection for one of the three stator windings was broken. So that alternator was roughly limited to 2/3 of its potential and the output wasn't as smooth.
My understanding is not all strategies to create higher output are helpful at increasing low rpm output.
Here's an example from the 2008 Delco Remy selection guide. (GM 10 SI alternators).
Depending on the pulley ratios and the loads at idle, the alternator rated "63 amps" could be a better choice than the "72 amp" version.
Some claim that an advantage of some of the newer alternator models is that the tolerances allow the rotor to run closer to the stator. This means the same magnetic field can induce more current out. Another advantage at low rpm may be wider windings.
I mention this because with what you're doing (EFI etc) I assume you're pretty open to fitting in a different type of alt if needed.
