Hey guys, 86 5.0 here. Car is running like crap "power of a 4cyl" and dies a lot when i come to a stop with the clutch in "but starts just fine with no problem". At night the lights dim like crazy. Also my temp gauge pegs all the way to "H" but i had a shop check it out and the car really runs cold. They said its a electrical problem. Also When I shift gears the car bucks pretty bad and its really bothering me. My best guess is the Alternator is toast and is on its way out. I have a new battery right now, new terminal cables. I'd just like some other input on maybe another solution. thanks.
