Talking Re: Charge System Error - Alternator?

A battery voltage should increase about 1 volt from off-resting to running 12.5-6 to about 13.3-5 or so. Battery voltmeter for cigarette socket is my recommendation, walmart like 18$. Monitor while driving...

High oil is nothing to concern about, I always run about 1/2 to 3/4 " above full mark for the high speed corners and such, since I push it. I use full synthetic 10w40, oil film is your friend. My 440 6 pac challenger (1973) has 20w50 oil at 7 quarts and it never gets started without oil pressure! I made a pressure tank in the trunk with additional 2 quarts of oil under pressure, opened before I crank it over, with 20# on the gauge. When engine is running oil gets pushed back to tank and is valved off for next time.

Enjoy Woody, check my albums for more..
