    I think automotive alternators have internal regulators and attendent overvoltage protection.
     
    This link is to a external overvoltage protection device.

    I muddled through an extensive old post discussion on the RVairforce about this same subject. Unless you are a EE you may have difficulty understanding it. I sure got lost...

    Tried to upload some photos...no luck
     
    Mine is mounted on the right side of the FW outboard the right, upper engine mount brace. The top fitting on the left side (in your picture) goes to the overflow bottle. The next one down goes to the engine head (top rear). The left (in your picture) radiator hose goes to the right belly radiator tube. The right radiator hose (in your picture) goes to the engine thermostat.

    I have a pair of 50s. I'll have to check the chart and see if I can afford to let go of them or if someone can afford for me to let go of them.

    Please pardon my limited knowledge.
    Are these the idle jets that vary with operational altitude? About 8mm lomg.
    I'm at about 850msl.

    I used some 3M automotive trim tape on my 98 Chev P/U last summer to secure some trim on the bed side. 
    Thorough cleaning and prep on body and trim. Proper outdoor temp. The trim began releasing within a week. I was NOT impressed.
