Default charging

Curtis i do run a msd distributor, thought a hei might not draw as much as my 7al-3, i added the second battery for better weight (now 53% on rear), i'am dropping off my alternator today it gets so hot you can't touch it even thou it still shows that it is charging, last weekend we got 6 time runs on sat. and would not get fully charged and a couple of times wasn't sure it would start (full charge no problem), i do use the fan and water pump to cool down after a run and it takes some time to get full charge, i will take the car to my alternator shop to check out the draw in 2 weeks (i bowl in a tournement this weekend then have company next week and race woodburn 8/13-14) no time to check it out till later. thanks Doug
