Bad Week-1 More Time!!!! Update



Being a mechanic from the old days. There is a simple test to see if
your alternator is charging, With the engine running disconect the
positive battery terminal. If the engine die's the alternator is not
charging. Case closed, I taught a young man that is and will become a
better mechanic a lesson before he put a meter on the car to tell me
what I already knew. Sorry I don't deal with Nappa or Auto Zone as the
chain stores don't know what an AMC is or have the slightest clue to
what an Motorola Alt. is or have any semblence ot intelegence. I had a
new one in an hour and tested it like i said above and it works fine
now. The mechanic tested it with his meter. Motorola's still bite!!!!! A
Delco one wire is looking real good right now. To bad I had to spend
that money on that new rebuilt Motorola.

would suggest a good red or shiraz, maybe Boutari Red from Greece, or
Jacob's Creek Shiraz Cabernet 2001 from Australia, or even Stoenhaven Shiraz
2002 from South Eastern Australia. A few glasses of any of them will make
you see Jesus too. And is good for your heart.

Before you amp out on the alt, make sure it is still good by taking it to a
Auto Zone or O'Reilly's for them to do a free test on it. Also check the
back of it before you take it out as sometimes those plugs and wires simply
come loose. Or the plug itself is wallowed out not making good contact, can
easily be crimped with pliers. Should you decide to change it if bad,
consider a Delco, as they are cheap and have the voltage regulator inside
them already. There is a file on my website under "parts" about this.
Something else to consider is if you have any automotive electrical place in
your area, ask them to do it, usually about $75 installed with alt. And be
done with it. I have them on most of my own AMCs simply because it was like
$75 for just the old Motocrapola alt and another $100 for the V/reg of which
no one stocked and had to go thru a AMC specific vendor if I wanted one, so
I simply RM'ed out and changed.

Good luck, I hope you ain't buying a new diamond ring for the old lady for
same reason Kobe Bryant was buying his old lady one.... ;~P))>

I don't care If it Rain's or Freezes as long as I have my 456 Teamster
approved plastic Jesus rideing on the dash of my AMC Hornet, I can go 100
Mph as long as I got the almighty power glued up on the dash with my fuzzy
dice> Say AMEM & AMC!!!!! The AMC god's have kicked me in the A$$ again
TODAY!!!!!. The Motorola alternator on my orange Hornet has died. Time for
some Pizza and some wine to calm down. The wife is out with her girlfiend
picking up her new diamond ring that I bought her from the money I finally
got so it will be quiet till she gets home.!@#$%^&!@#$%^&*
