Thanks. Brad.
Here is what I replaced one of my Aeromotives with:

That is the pump Eddie Yong put in my Velocity. That was 2013. Gone through another rebuild and still good.

Is this not of relevant? Nobody has addressed this specific point.

I wouldn't charge both batteries on the alternator. That is putting quite a load on the alternator.

I would wait till you get back and plug the house battery into a charger.

The small blowers aren't your issue.

UnderPSI,

That die was cast when the decision to convert to Holley was made.

I don’t have it rigged for “start/house”. It is batt1/batt2”. Except for the ECM connected directly to batt1 and Mercathode to batt2, everything runs from the output lug of the selector switch.

Are you suggesting I find a higher output alternator?

Thanks. Brad.

Running jumpers straight from power points to voltmeter would bypass all of th dash wiring to tell you if problem was in there.

No just have 1 battery connected at a time when engine is running

Weldon 1100A is what I have always used. I believe it is a much better pump than the Aeromotive for the same $$$
