I had the same converstion with Bill last year. He recommended the same
place and said that balancing the rotor at about 500 hours is highly recommended.
He also has a very good trouble shooting procedure for his regulators.

David,
My intermittent problem was a broken ground wire at the connector attached
to the alternator.
Speaking of alternators on big Continentals.. In a conversation I had at
Sun n Fun with Bill Bainbridge of B & C Specialty, I learned the Primary
Alternators (not a B & C product) have multiple failure problems. Bill
recommends <http://www.acs-rfd.com/> Aircraft Systems Inc in Rockford,
Ill.
(Bill has no financial interest) as the best place to have them improved
for
more reliable service. My 70 amp Kelly is there now.
Steve Colwell Legacy Subject: [LML] Alternator Failure Question
This is probably a question for my mechanic, but can alternators start
failing after 180 hours on IO-550's? Is failure typically intermittent?
(I am getting intermittent drop-offs in the Amps reading on my engine
monitor - down to single digits and then negative amps in the teens and
then
the system restores to normal after 1-2 minutes.)
