Use a cheater bar? Glenn

I bought some cheap screwdrivers with bright orange day-glow handles so I could spot them easier. Sure enough a number of years have past and I cannot find them all. Glenn

Okay, I figured out the leads. Do I need to disconnect anything before giving it a go? Glenn

Put one lead on the positive and the other on the negative? Turn on the key and squeeze the trigger of the starter? That sound right then? Glenn

Was digging through some old tool boxes and came across a 'remote starter'. It's red plastic with a gun grip and a black trigger. There are two insulated wires coming out of the bottom. At either end of the wires is a spring loaded clip. How would I connect the 2 leads to try a 'remote start' on...

Hard not to be envious! Congratulations! Glenn

UPDATE! Alternator replaced on Saturday morning, Sept. 1 2012. Tried starting it on Sunday afternoon with a jump from my Jeep. Not enough to get it started. So I put the truck battery on a charger. Charge took about 7 hours. Put battery in this Monday morning....and cha-ching.... it started...

Thanks all! I'll give PB Blaster a try first and get back on my results! Don't have a torch.....yet. Glenn

Working on trying to get the alternator of my son's '94 Ranger pick-up. Have 2 of 3 bolts off. This third bolt is in a pain-in-the-butt location. Cannot get a regular socket on it because of minimal clearance (frame in the way). Can get a 1/2 open ended wrench on it but the bolt is so locked...

Last week I bought a 1965 Dart, 2-door post. Something in the back of my head said go look for some old tool boxes my dad had. He passed in 1985 but I kept these tool boxes and buried them in the back of my garage. One in particular said "tune-up" on the outside in a faded black marker. I opened...
