Look at your voltage when you are under power with and without an alternator. If you have a very strong battery you will see 12.3 volts or so without the alternator. With the alternator you will see about 14 volts. Which do you think is going to supply the ignition with more power? We already know the effect that the voltage has on the fuel pump, that is why we rewire them.

There is a way around that though. Jacobs makes a product called the Accuvolt that will bump the voltage up to 14.4 volts no matter what the incoming voltage is. If you put one of those on the ignition and fuel pump, you would be set! They aren't real cheap, but it is a good option.
