Battery light saga
So I put a new tranny in the car this week, got everything running, and thought that was end end of my worries for awhile. Today I'm driving and the battery light comes on. When I have my foot on the gas, it goes away. When I'm at idle, it stays on constant. I run about 750-800RMS with a 1 farad cap and a yellow top. Maybe the alt just decided to die.....

lol. It was the alternator. It's charging at a whopping 9.72. How's that for impressive? Without the battery, the car dies immediately. $140 new but I found a ton of junkyards with them from 30-50 bucks but they're not open until Monday dammit!

maybe you should look into getting your current one re-built to put out more power?

This one lasted 3 years. Why pay 289 bucks for 160 amps when I can waste 50 bucks for another 3 years....
