Hey guys,
I found a EF Falcon alternator to upgrade the 60amp stock one to a 110amp EF one.
This I've been told is good for RB30 Patrol, with some modifications to it.
My problem is that I have no clue whether the alternator is cactus or not.
Is there a way to bench test an alternator?
At least parts of it, like the rectifier, regulator, etc?
I don't think the coil is bad, as they rarely go bad.
Bearing appears to be ok.
So, it's basically testing the rectifier+regulator, isn't it?
Thanx in advance for any tips.
