:BangHead: what ya trying to do shoulder re-replacement?? Be careful out there.
Part of the discussion I am having internally. I owe ya a phone call for sure. I have a meeting with a more local PD Chief in a week or so. Not sure where it will go but darn sure cut my drive time down. But it is a small bedroom community so you know 60% of the calls are domestic. I am to old and fat for that nonsense. I am trying to stay on the training side but man power is so limited everywhere it is just ridiculous. No Dept has the luxury of putting men where they are best suited. Folks yap and yap about slashing the budget and defunding and we all know the first place the cut becomes real is training. Then they throw a fit because we don’t have the resources to respond as quickly as they deem prudent. Arghh
Apologies for the rant this morning but I am tired and grouchy. Getting ready to drive an hour and a half and train a school security team live fire on the range all day and get them qualified. They literally have to shoot and pass LEO standard. Some of them struggle. Gonna be a long day, was almost a long night! Shout out to @WV64Signet you know why!
 
So the Adopted grand kids came over to mow yesterday with Daughter, SIL and a few other kids. I go in to get some stuff to grill come out they are all in the pond! Water has to be 50's. On a good note they got the old sunfish out to drain form me that thing was internally flooded. Glad it has drain plugs on top. I have been on that thing since 64 at the summer house. I am ready to get rid of it but daughter wants it which is cool. Still have it all somehow.

How is it bad? They usually are fine unless cut off.
During disassembly of the valve cover and master cylinder, I know I bumped the VR 2 pin plug several times, and it seemed like the pins may have gotten pushed up inside the plug or bent because at one time it would not even seat back on the VR. I finally got it to seat and then unplugged it so I would not hit it again.

The car fired up, and immediately the belt was squealing, and I noticed my Amp gauge on the dash (stock Dart gauge in the cluster) was pegged, and bumping the throttle made the belt continue to squeal (never did that before). I immediately thought that due to the problem with the pins on the VR, it was the VR, and the connections were not making contact properly. There was no ground wire connected to the VR, only the blue and green wires from the plug.

Thats weird sounds like it full fielded somehow. Full field shorts the input to the VR and maxes out the alternator. There is actually a old school tool for that. Taking the plug off stopped it?
 
Cant find a pic of the tool. It shorted a pin to ground. Was a easy check for a alternator to see if it worked.

No, I ran it and knew it wasn't right, so my thought was when I dicked up the plug. only change from when it was running good and no issues. I didn't pull anything when the engine was running............
