As for my oem alternator, I'm not sure I still have that around, as I replaced the alternator a LONG time ago. But seems to me I do have a couple around here somewhere.

As for the ignition rpm, from what I have been reading recently, I thought that was controlled via a signal by the PCM?
the exciter in the alternator is what does it. once it reaches rpm speed it sends the signal to the computer. been there, done it. the reman alternator i got had a test sheet showing output testing and showed when it excited. sure enough it wouldn't not turn on until i hit 2200 rpms. kept getting the charging system fault on the dash. so had mine rebuilt and gave theirs back.
