Electrical Help Please

Thanks everyone for all the comments and suggestions. I'm pretty good with everything but electrical issues. With them I am a lost ball in high weeds. :BangHead:

Since I could not get a definite answer out of anyone and neither of my local parts stores could produce a reliable test, I have just decided to buy new parts. I think this will solve the problem and give me piece of mind when I drive the car. I'm tired of the battery going dead and leaving me stranded.

Just for the curious........, I found a company here in the USA that is building the square back alternators BRAND NEW. Not rebuilt or remanufactured. After talking to both Managers of the local auto parts stores and hearing the horror stories about all the JUNK they get from the rebuilders and remanufacturers in Mexico and South Korea, and Vietnam, I didn't want one of them. They both said the failure rate was pretty high and sometimes were bad right out of the box. I got the brand new one for $170. The quality from a company from the USA should give me much better chances of getting a good one.

For the battery I bought a 24F Die Hard Platinum AGM battery. I hear the AGM gel filled batteries are less effected by vibration so it will last longer since I plan to drag race some. It has 710 cranking amps and 885 cold cranking amps. It also has 120 minutes reserve capacity. The long reserve capacity should help me with those electric cooling fans on my car since the engine stays pretty cool and the electric fans don't really run all that long.

I'm really hoping that this puts an end to me getting stranded everywhere I go. I'd like to drive the car without worrying about it. If this doesn't fix my issue I'll be back asking for additional ideas. Should I go ahead and buy a voltage regulator now? I seem to have bought everything else!:rofl:

Thanks again for the help!
