Hello All,

The alternator on my GLT continues to be ornery as hell, I am two shakes from going up to the scrappers and picking up a decent used one.

A couple of weeks ago it wasn't charging. After cleaning it up and re-installing I found that it worked just fine as before. I haven't started the car in about a week. Last night I started it up and the alternator wasn't charging at idle, but revving the engine yeilded a small increase but far from what I would call healthy. I then stuck my hand down there in the dark to see if the wires were connected and proceeded to brand the tip of my middle finger with the B positive connection. I haven't touched anything that hot in a long time. Let me re-itterate that it was burning hot.

Any ideas fellow bricksters???

Happy Bricking to all...
