That is true, I switched out alternators. We will see now.
Thanks, I will check. Just had shoulder surgery, working one handed takes longer.
All new battery, battery cables, new alternator. Belt new and tight. Thanks. And you are right, it should be simple...
My old heap came with a one wire, has worked fine until last week, it's a Ford and they are different as I'm finding out. Cheers.

Got a meter, still chasing. I would rather swap motors than do this, as this is endless. Plus, no friend to help. They have all left the building...

one guy said about my ride- "That truck is a 50 footer." I said, "ya, just like your face."
Two 15 year olds waited until pop was asleep one Friday night. Then they pushed the family '57 Olds out of the garage and down the alley. No...
72 years old and had my first driving "fun" with a go kart. 5 of us guys in north Minneapolis pooled our dough and bought a kart in 1962 or 1963....
I used a 1990 Bronco for my jailhouse '42 pick up build. It's off topic? tho, so I won't post photos. Worked out well.
