Yes, and the scheduled cure is to replace the engine with an aluminum ford v8.(yes, I know that anybody with any sense would simply tighten the belt)

I really don't want to not have a charge wire not working. It is nice to know, when something is going south in my charging system. Anyway, what about hooking up a 300zx alternator? It would be plenty of amps for me. And is it from a Z31? Let me know, if you can. Thanks in advance.

Mainly whoever was listening. lol And I started searching after reading your post in another recent thread. It isn't that old of a thread. And I had a legitimate question about the topic.
