Biggest issue is that 12.3V is a low state of charge for a battery... That means it is fairly well loaded to get a terminal voltage that low... One thing for the alternator to be loaded, but the battery...

I wish there was a true drop in 75 or 80a alternator...
similar year gasser cars have drop in 80 amp alts... the 280C and 280E have them, the 450SL have them, as do the 420 SEL's
I have several cars with drop in 80 amps in them.
