<p>I do not think the generator will deliver more than about
25-30A at high revs. on a good day. A period alternator will
give you 32-36A at moderate revs. <br>

<p>The fan will normally only be switched on in dense traffic at
low speed, when a generator is not producing many amps. An
alternator would do slightly better.</p>
<p>Both an alternator would deliver sufficiently and a generator
better than that at normal speeds unless there are other

<p>Nothing to worry about. The fan is drawing a lot of
amps which will result in a negative charge hence
the ign. light is coming on, probably only when
idling. Before you most likely had the fan wired
directly from the main circuit in series with the
Amp. meter and not through the ignition circuit so
the light might not show. You could operating the
fan using a relay switched on by the under dash
switch but getting the main current from the
battery. It will not solve the negative charge but
it may avoid the light coming on.</p>
<p>Perhaps the fan is a bit to powerful and drawing
more Amps than necessary. However the fan is only on
for a very short while unless in prolonged very
heavy traffic and on long and slow steep inclines<br>
</p>
<p>The best way is to revert to the old situation with
the thermo-switch (wired through the ignition
circuit and use the manual switch as an override
switch so when you switch of the ignition the fan
will not work. These should switch a relay with the
main current coming directly from the main circuit
with the Ampmeter<br>
</p>
<p>Use a thermo-switch tot cuts in at say 90-95°C and
cuts out at about 5-10°C over the opening
temperature of the thermostat.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>My real Healey has an
electric fan in front of the radiator that was

reasonably well, but drew quite a bit of power

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Personally I don’t like
thermo switches, so the fan has now been wired
direct and operated by a discreet switch under
the dash. Power is taken directly from the
outgoing side of the ignition switch so that
the fan only comes on when the ignition is on
along with the specific switch.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Works well, but now

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Does that mean that the
