When the car is at idle the headlights flicker.
All things considered, would a higher output
alternator solve the problem?
Don't know the current capacity, I am guessing
in the 60 amp range. Would installing a 100 amp
alternator fix the problem. This is 41 year old wiring
so would a higher capacity alternator be safe?
Or is flickering headlights "normal" at idle (750 rpm)?
