I've been home the past two days with a sinus infection. It's pouring rain, a good thing, so no driving today either way. However, I made no plans to drive last Saturday as Nancy and I were putting up decorations for the Christmas season. Lo and behold we finished, or at least couldn't go any further without a few things so I took off on a drive. I managed 120 miles and man is that motor something else. Very smooth. I did have an issue with the alternator light. Part way through the drive it was on but it was on very dim. At the end of the run it was a little brighter. I cut off an inch of wire and replaced the female spade connector at the alternator. I made sure to bend a 90 degree angle on the connector to ease any stress on the wire. Used friction tape to cover it all up and reattached it. Light went out and there was 12.8 volts at the battery with the car shut off and 14.2 with the car idling. Perfect.
