The drive belt adj is crucial as too loose will not turn the pulley (belt slippage) @ speed and too tight may cause the GEN rear bearing to burn out.
The GEN disadvantage compared to an ALT is not charging sufficiently @ low speed.
You have a SHOP MANUAL?

Thanks Kultulz. Yes, I have the shop manual, but of course the section for '54 is supplemental, so some of the info I have to get from the '52-3 section. The ambient temp thing was from the '54 section, though.
How do I measure the amp output at the generator and regulator? Thanks.
