Sorry, but the Laws of Physics say you are dead wrong, increased power from an alternator is not free...

The T shaped connector once fell out of my stock alt. When I fired it up it wasn't charging. Then I reved it and it started to charge. No need for a GM one wire alternator.

It doesnt make sense. without a t-connector, it wont charge at all.

Even with the alternator off it should still start.. I think.

That's what I thought. Damn so I wonder what the problem is then. Is it possible that the bearings were bad in the other so I had to give it more fuel to compensate for the strain so now it's flooding? Or somethin weird like that?
