Rubbish design from the 1960's compared to what exactly ?



Fast tickover compared to idle tickover to put a charge into a nearly flat battery is the same you say.


Can I suggest you experiment on your suggestions with a modern alternator with both a voltmeter and an ammeter connected.


Then come back to report that the amps produced is exactly the same at both idle and a high idle.


Volts is only half of the story
