As I sit here removing head studs from my case halves wondering what the hell I have done with engine parts scattered over several square feet of my cellar, I decided I would do the initial cam break-in on my engine/tranny dolly.
How does one connect the alternator? The alternator has one heavy gauge wire that goes to the starter and a 3 wire plug that goes to the voltage regulator on the relay board. Is the relay board/voltage regulator needed for the engine test stand? |
