Ok, got the tools wiped down and put away.....
Started the engine and it fired right up instantly. Idle went up and came back down to around 700 r's. Did not go for a ride, but let it warn up to 207* in the garage (with the door open, lol).
Alternator read around 14.9v then settled to 14.6v. Did some hot restarts (started within 2-4 seconds, alternator would read 11v to 10.4v during the restart) and then it could go up as high as 15.1v and settled down again @14.6v. Fans came on @205* and alternator went down from 14.6v to 14.4v. So I am happy with this rebuilt unit and I like the way my original alternator fan is spaced away from the housing. And that means no more fan noise from hitting the housing....
The idle issue appears to have improved, but will not know for sure until I get out on the road for some stop and go driving. Also revved the engine multiple times to 2000 and above rpm's, came back down to around 700 to 800 r's. Once it did idle around 900 r's and then when I put the trans in gear and let the clutch out slightly the r's would drop lower to 650-700 r's and stay there.
Now, onto the fender covers in the other thread...
