    great, now the car won't start

    in case this helps, the same thing happened yesterday. i opened the hood, jiggled my alternator power wire thinking it shorted against the casing, and then the car started normally. i know now that that was a fluke...

    great, now the car won't start

    my alternator power wire burnt up a week ago right where it meets the alternator. from what i learned on the forum and otherwise, i'm guessing it just loosened up. i put on a new wire and it worked fine. i broke off 3/8ths of an inch of the end of the stud on the alternator, but it should be...

    just scheduled dyno session for this weekend--any tips?

    thanks paul, that was very helpful. i'll make sure to get a disc. once everything is setup, about how many runs can i expect to get in each hour? that is, about how long do you usually have to wait for the car to cool down between pulls? i'm trying to get an idea of how many pulls i can...

    alternator power wire melted down!!

    thanks guys. the nut over the wire connector piece was too tight to come off. i think it may have melted to the stud. i'll head over to the shed (15 minute drive) after the twins game and take the multimeter to it. rc, no chrome alternator for me if i need to replace mine. i can't see...

    Just got a Speedcal for $50 bucks. ??

    good deal! a speedcal is on my list, but it's below the tri-ax and subframes... just in case you were wondering where to mount it, there's a perfect spot in front of the shifter. take your console out, install it in front of the shifter, and never see it again:). i know others have done...
