Large Capacitor off Alternator
I have a Motorola MA12N600 alternator that has a large 12000uF capacitor on the output terminal of the alternator. I'm assuming this is to smooth out the voltage coming out of the alternator, but it looks like it was installed after the fact. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
