Larry,
The weather in New Orleans is bad this morning and I have been up since 2:30 am ,on my 5th cup of coffee.
I will try to explain in lay mans terms what you are asking.
#1 Excitation-- You are 55 yrs. old, out for a walk on a beautiful spring morning with your 50 Yr old wife at the [park, beach etc.]. A very attractive young (22 yr old) comes walking by in a very nice walking/running outfit.

#2 Yes, 22 yr.old is 150 amp alternator, 50 yr old wife is a very short 50 amp fuse and will Kill all the power to the amp meter which is you.

#3 Have no clue if that will work, But there is no reason to have a big alternator like that on an old truck. I think most of the vehicles that originally came with alt. were 32, maybe 45 amp alternators. So on an old truck what kind of draw would you have that you would need more than 45 amps?

As I said I'm on my 5 Th cup of coffee, so I may be wrong, but hopefully will make someone laugh.
