Ihave a prlblem with this one:

y father installed a tachometer in the vehicle, and it usually reads 13.5 when going above 40 (I don't know the exact speed).

Tachometer measures engine speed in revolutions per minute, rpms. Your statement of 13.5 at 40 sounds more like the reading of a voltmeter. Is it?

The things you have done are helpful. Fuses have a habit of looking OK and being bad. Checking means spinning in place, or actually removing and reinstalling. Spinning also removes any oxide build-up on the ends, a common problem.

Another common problem is alternator brushes being worn out. The labor to pull them and check is the same as the labor to install a new set. Get a regulator/brush set from fpcgroton or a dealer or such, and replace yours. Length below 5mm is too short. A set usually is gone in 100,000 miles +/- .

Good Luck,

Bob
