Driving to get chineses food, in heavy snow, at night time.....WITH NO LIGHTS. The alternator went and I had to turn off the lights(so dim that they projected no light on the road) to make it up some of the steeper hills. Anyway I went to my auto parts store and ordered a new alternator and voltage regulator. The alternator, for $6 more, was a 62amp unit compared to the stock 40amp. I put it and the voltage regulator on in about an hour and what a difference 22amps makes!!!!!!!! My dixie horn now plays at the correct speed, my new halogen lights are 100% brighter, my interior lights are brighter and most importantly its more powerful!! The owner before me had converted to HEI without upgrading the rest of the electrical system. I can definatley say it was an extra $6 well spent.
Another miracle product..........CARB AND CHOKE CLEANER!!!! I bought a can of it and sprayed until the can was empty....I can now read the "Quadrajet" name on the side, my choke works, and power delivery is much smoother.
A long story short....it was an inexpensive but very productive weekend.
