Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

At least it started?

Oh yeah, it started.

I was correct. I had 'em check after lunch. It's the battery not holding a good charge. The alternator is mostly fine. Well, it's a bit low on the output side but seems to be fine. It's not something they'll need to replace today. They'll order one and replace it when I send the car back next Monday.

Hell, it's an old-school 350 big block. I can change the alternator myself. Might as well use it as a good excuse to put on a new belt, check the pulleys, and maybe see if the tensioner is wearing out. It's not even a complicated serpentine belt like you get on a modern car. You don't even have to take anything major off to change the belt!

I have now also eaten some lunch.

An alternator change on a 350 is easy as can be.

Yeah, that's definitely something I could do. LOL I'm pretty sure Biff could figure it out and I don't think she's even changed a tire.
