Re: Change of radiator core affecting cooling performance in 1949, 23rd series

I was able to get the alternator built into a generator housing so that I don't lose the look of the original equipment but now at idle, I get excellent charging. I am maintaining 7 to 8 volts on the battery at idle even with the headlights on high beam.
The pusher fan works much, much better than before since it is getting plenty of juice at idle.
The lights no longer dim at idle.
The company (Gener-nator) also built me a delco-remy look alike voltage regulator to mount on the firewall to keep the original look (even though the voltage regulation is actually being done inside the alternator).
I realize that I have moved away from the original car circuitry which was a difficult decision but for safety and other performance reasons, I believe it was a good decision.
