It lives, ready to make some hits.

that 1000 rpm for the alternator is alternator speed. the alternator spins way faster than the crank. you can figure it out by measuring one. i dont have any small block stuff here or id measure it up for you. im thinking 3:1 ratio. tghe alternator turns 3 ties faster than the crank.

didn’t know that, thought I had heard above 1000rpm. Still like my idle above that anyhow, but thanks for that. Learn something on here all the time
