mk1 electrical gremlins - alternator specific (...I think)

[davidwinchell2 at sprynet.com (David L. Winchell, II)]

10ga is kind week for that app.  If all else fails you can buy the better
stuff from Radio Shack by the foot.  Years ago whit my first rocc I bought a
100' spool of the 4ga when I upgraded to the 90 amp alt when my 65 amp
failed.

HTH,
