I don't have my ammeter hooked up yet....and I haven't got a chance to put a voltmeter across the terminals.

I've had several members tell me that they've had the same problems with underdrive pulleys...it just won't spin the alternator fast enough to charge the system. I'm not really concerned about that part...

I was just trying to back up my suspicions that a low battery voltage will not alllow the MSD box to put out a good fire....thus causing the aforementioned plug sooting and slight misses...
