Since I have little tolerance for archive research, would you please
tell me the problem and the fix for the alternator?
Thanks

Hello Matthew:
OMG ... You work for NASA. My fingerprints are all over the space station
and on quite a few parts of the Shuttles. I do metal coatings for NASA.
When it comes to the archives - I can't blame you, I have only a three step
tolerance for the archives and AeroElectric as well. The only difference is I
refuse to get into the back & forth Over - Engineered BS session with giftedly
challenged.
And I guess all their BS was not able to help you solve your problem. How
much time and money did you invest into that problem?
One fellow did hit on the problem ... Con-Grads to him.
So what is the problem?
There are two ground systems to the car. One goes from the battery to the
fender/body. The other goes to the engine block.
Guess what the engine block is made of? ALUMINUM, and we all know how poor
aluminum is as a conductor.
Remove the ground strap, wire wheel the area and the battery connector tab.
Install an external STAR WASHER below and above the battery cable, add a
washer and use a new bolt. After all that is done; spray the area with
undercoating. It is a 15 to 30 minute job. It cost me lots of time swapping perfectly
good alternators, replacing the battery (well, that was border line anyway).
Check the area UNDER the Battery Tray, you will find more grounds there.
I failed to heed my own advice ... CHECK THE GROUNDS!
Don't just look at them, remove them, clean them and add more.
My learning experience cost me $139.
