  I'm getting old I guess. I cant see how a given stator will give the same
power out independent if it is connected either Y or Delta. The Delta will
deliver a lot more current to load than a Y. Sure, the Y connection will
deliver more voltage at the low RPMs but the delta connection will provide
perhaps twice the current at high RPM.

  I refer to your statement:
I don't know whicht is prevelant.  The alternater from my wife's Saturn
was wired in delta.  Either configuration will result in the same maximum
power, although characteristics of the field current and output current
in relation to the speed will be different.

  Perhaps you are saying that an alternator can be made to deliver the same
power, yet be either Y or delta connected.

  We are probably getting too far off the EFI track.
