Mike,
If I had attended a large embroidery seminar in LV late last week and into the
weekend I could have stopped by.
There are some auto parts houses that have alternator testers to check out your
original alternator. That is usually a free service in the hopes you will buy
your next one from them.
I think the single wire alternator is a great modification. There is a web
page out there that describes very well how to install the single wire
alternator. Maybe someone knows where it is and will sent you there.
