I made a dummy generator once, cause in our club we could either have or not
have the original generator, but not an alternator. All I wanted was for
the fan belt to not fall off.
I think I'll get me one of those propeller driven generators - Smokey
Yunick has one he's not using - and to get around all the cry's of Cheater
Cheater I won't mount it on the car - I'll strap it to my helmet, and hook
my ass into the battery - should keep me AND the car going!
