Re: [Chevelle-List] Ground Up follows trend
If this is the case... then real simple... yell a couple of curse words into the phone hang up. Do not try again :P Order from another company or person. I was looking through their catalog a few days ago pondering who to order some fenders and numerous other items for my 68. After these posts... I won't order from them... that it unfair, illegal, and all around screwing the customer. I would much rather deal with someone else.

RE: [Chevelle-List] alternater problems
Bob, what amperage Alternator did you buy? Other than the lights burning out...which..if they were the originals..and you had a higher output alternator Just might have been possible. Other than that most of what you say there COULD possibly be pretty normal. When you let a battery sit for a long time it will slowly lose it's charge. If the alternator cranks to try to recharge it (as indicated by your slow crank speed), and you go turning on lights and other things you are asking that alternator to crank out a lot of juice. It's going to be normal for it to get fairly hot. If you have a multi-meter, put it on "amps" or "current" and put one lead on the battery terminal and the other on the battery cable after you disconnect it. That should show you if there is anything drawing current still. Any chance you converted to an internally regulated alternator and still have the old regulator in the circuit? You might want to have the alternator tested. Most parts stores test them these days for free.

It turned over kinda slow then fired and I noticed the lights were kinda bright and the amp meter (stock gauge) was nearly pegged. I turned on the high beams and they went out. When I got home I checked the battery voltage with the car running and it was over 15 volts and the alternator was too hot to touch. The lights had power to the sockets on high and low beam but there wasn't continuity on the high beam side of the lamps themselves. Must have blown the head lamps! The alternater is a nearly new SI series, could something have happend to the regulator to make run at "full charge" . I also noticed when I disconnected the ground from the battery I got a spark. Nothing was drawing current that I could tell so I disconnected the 2 wire alternator plug and rechecked and then there was no current draw. What gives, any ideas? I guess I'll pull it tomorrow and take it back to the parts store and have it tested but I have never seen a problem like this before. Any and all input (no pun intended) would be appreciated as to what is going on and how did it happen .

[Chevelle-List] UPDATE ON Blower not working.
Last week I had the problem of the blower fan motor not working. Last weekend I went in and traced the power and found out that the ground tab on the motor wasn't making a good connection. I cleaned the connection of the tab where it scres on to the motor mounting flange and also ran an extra ground wire to a better spot on the mounting flange and it works like a charm again. Just wanted to update everyone in case you wanted to know.

I can understand a business not up dating their catalog for every price change but there is no reason their web site should not reflect the price changes.
