[QUOTE="Moocow16, post: 77497, member: 544616"] well, i believe that on most cars the factory timing is set to 10, so unless somebody during the course of the cars history changed it a s***load, i have no idea y it was up to 45. Anyways, alternators make different amounts of power at different rmp's, so if the timing was cranked up that high, it could have been idling at a higher rmp, making more power. Now that you got the timing fixed, it doesn't idle that high anymore, lowering the amount of power it makes at idle. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the alternator, just different idle speeds.
