After a fire.....

I'm sorry I got upset. I really am. I just try to help others. First let me say I don't know it all as I still learn something new every day. I just try to make it error proof for people so they don't have issues down the road and make it safer for everyone. There aren't many old cars that are 100% stock. What I mean by this is there isn't many old cars that haven't changed a alternator, starter, battery, a wire, light bulbs etc. So lets use his car as an example. Orignally it had about a 35 amp alternator. So the amp gauge rating say is 30-40 amps and scale would be the same. So we all know (or maybe not) about the bulkhead connectors. So lets assume (I know) at some point in 55 years the alternator was changed once or twice so now what amp alt. do we have? So as our old cars sit for a while the battery loses some or all of it charge, so it gets jump started or put on the charger for 10-30 minutes or so to get it fired up and what if the battery is no longer up to snuff. Well if the batteries voltage is still low the charging system may go full field so now we are putting 45-60 amps thru a system that was designed for 35 amps max. Now after 55 years lets assume (I still know) we have some corrosion somewhere in the system. So now this spot is getting hot and hotter. Now how many times in 55 years has this happened? So if we repair it the same way it was built and not check every wire and connection in the vehicle and not have a fully charged battery in it and install a 35 amp alt. are we back to square 1 or 36? So at this point of where there is this much damage why not do a couple simple refinements. First why not take a partial or complete load off the amp gauge and associate wiring. It's a extremely simple job. Then lets take some more load off it and provide full voltage to the headlights, again a extremely simple job and both mods are cheap. Now we add a voltmeter to monitor the charging system and a new fully charge battery. So now if that 50-60 amp alt. goes to full field for a little while it's no harm no foul. Now every car show you attend lets look at that bulkhead connector and see how many look melted. It's fun. Sincerely, LO23M8B. ps what is JMO I'm an old guy?
