Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Oh yeah, it started.

I was correct. I had 'em check after lunch. It's the battery not holding a good charge. The alternator is mostly fine. Well, it's a bit low on the output side but seems to be fine. It's not something they'll need to replace today. They'll order one and replace it when I send the car back next Monday.

Hell, it's an old-school 350 big block. I can change the alternator myself. Might as well use it as a good excuse to put on a new belt, check the pulleys, and maybe see if the tensioner is wearing out. It's not even a complicated serpentine belt like you get on a modern car. You don't even have to take anything major off to change the belt!

I have now also eaten some lunch.

An alternator change on a 350 is easy as can be.

Yeah, that's definitely something I could do. LOL I'm pretty sure Biff could figure it out and I don't think she's even changed a tire.

You should tell her it is time for her to learn and let her try to do it without help. That would probably be entertaining
