Well, since it was nice last Monday I took my '69 out for a spin to get parts washer fluid from local distributor. All was good til I got half way there and alt quit charging. Lucky it was cool and the fan wasn't going to run so I knew it would make the trip home.

Pulled it apart, including regulator and headed to Azone. Couldn't test regulator since he couldn't find the right lead, but alt was fried so figured that was problem. He looked at alt and said it looked like a reman unit. I told him I likely got it at another store years back. He looked it up and sure enough 8yrs ago I bought a lifetime unit!!! Yippeee......I got another "premiun" alt for nothing! Got it put on and wow...it charges. Life is good again.

Had to return to work today after 2wks off..............bummer. Back to the grind.
