A lot of these type of problems seem to have been reported here. I think I'll have the PP removed from my FWF kit list. I'm all for integration but I think I'll go with the external regulator and crowbar.

A wise move. With all of the PP alternator problems reported here, I don't understand why people keep buying them. I have 500 trouble free hours on my low cost ND alternator with external VR. I built my own crowbar with the pubslished circuit for $7 in parts. I believe they can be acquired pre-built for around $25.

Default ND????

What is an ND alternator?

Is that short for Nippon Denso?

Would that be an external regulator as i have already purchased a Plane Power external regulator to fit my prestolite alternator only to find that my prestolite wont fit into my cowling. OUCH

Yup. Sometimes referred to as just "Denso".
