    A couple of questions about power.

    Sure, I saw on a thread somewhere that removing the top half of the air cleaner cover and replacing it with something flat -Therefore allowing air to enter from all sides- would give a slight efficiency and power increase at the cost of a louder engine and shorter filter life. I have access...

    An alternator mystery

    Alright thanks for the answers. Three more questions, of the two posts on the back of alt one which should it go on? Top or bottom also any chance of it causing charging problems?

    New member with a few questions

    At the risk of revealing my propensity to ask stupid questions would that alternator test mean the sticky post or something different using the test plug? Also would there be any reason to disconnect the alternator and haul it in to the Napa. I was talking to the guy who runs the shop...

    New member with a few questions

    Update Not sure if I should make a new post or revive this one but I thought I’d try this one. I spent two days digging through the dash and found that my “gen 1” light and socket where MIA replaced them with my seatbelt indicator bulb and spent a day pulling my hair out trying to get...
