so i decide to go up to bay area (like a dumb a$$),
and pick up a grill and fender from steve, thanks steve...stuff i could of got down here, but i just wanted to drive for a bit...got there fine, 4000+rpm all the way, 5 1/2 hours, ran like a clock, got the parts, turned around, about an hour in, my temp needle went to hotter than i like it,(too hot), so i pulled over let it cool down, ran hot as f&ck all the way back, i reckon it's the new ignition, hot coil, probaly need to go to cooler plugs...took it out for a ride today, it's alright...
now the pisser part, wire from alternator got frayed/chewed, now it don't wanna charge, took alternator in to have it checked, it's alright changed out voltage regulator, still no charge...
might be time for a one wire alternator...
aaaarrrggghhhh!!~!!!!
