Re: First time swap started

Ah, the joys of projects.

Radiator cap leaking slightly at full temp. Go to store and get replacement ('safety release' style was all they had). Doesn't even get up to temp before it starts leaking through the 'safety valve'.

New AC Delco cap coming today.

Voltage low - 11.xx at battery, 11.xx at alternator. PCM wire to alternator showing ~5+ volts, so on my year motor I believe that's correct (some years it's 10-12?). So have to pick up an alternator.

I can get a new AC delco from amazon (105 amp) for $125, or a new 130 amp carquest from Advance for the same price, plus a 25% coupon. But I'd need a new belt, to replace my... new belt. Don't know if the extra amps are justified.

Still haven't gotten around to looking at my gauges issue. Maybe this weekend.
