Only difference i think with the diesel alt is the feed for the rev counter. |

my revcounter is doing some very funny stuff at the moment, when accelerating the needle is jumping about all over the place, could the alt be cousing this, how is the diesel alt different and what do i need to do to wire it up right.
cheers  |

The diesels take the rev counter feed off the alt, the petrols dont, so just ignore it. |
