Get a newer style cs alt. It will come in as soon as it's spinning and gets a draw. That old one you have needs at least 2k rpm to work. So if you don't have a 6" crank pulley your not charging until you go down the track. Slap a volt meter on it and watch it.
As far as the Red tops shooting craps I don't believe it. Those things have a 6 year warranty.
