One of the brushes shattered.. It was in at least 3 pieces.. Wonder if that was it.. I do have a rotor coming as well, may as well finish it right

New Alt is in.. my custom build needs a regulator, it was taken out with the brush..

Voltages is sitting at 13.3 @ idle on the ECM datalogger.. DMM @ the Alt was showing a bit more if I recall correctly, but will verify again drops to 12.9 when I accelerate harder which makes me think the battery is getting near the end

I will feel better with a new battery although this one I have is from 10/2010. but have been told sitting is not the best thing for batteries either

Voltage at Fuel pump never drops below 13.2 and is mostly 13.6
