Hal Is correct about the minimum rpms to "start" or "excite" the the converted ford alternator,I forgot to mention that.....With my stock pulley set up,it takes engine rpm of 1200 to "start" the alternator,once it is "started" it will operate at any engine rpm....when you turn off your ignition and kill the motor,it also kills the alternator,when you restart your engine,you will have to restart your alternator again.....Not a problem for me as 1200 rpms comes quick in first gear.....I have had mine in the car for three years now and 11,000 miles with no trouble so far......

It eliminates an external voltage regulator and a lot of wires and cleans up your engine compartment nicely....
