Default Alternator/ Power Charging Problem

Was Crusing Tonight Racking Up Those Break In Miles, And I Was Nearing Home When My Tach Needle Started Jumping Allover The Place, Revs Wernt, Just The Gauge. Then The Speedo Fell To 0. Then Everything Went Dim...Then Everything Went Bye-Bye. And She Died...Luckily I Coasted Into A Well Lit Parkinglot. Called Quilksilver EK To Rescue And He Brought Me His Battery!!! Started Right Up And Drove Home Fine. This Deffinatly Seems Like A Charging Problem Doesnt It???? I Have A Pre-OBD Alternator...and Have Been Driving For Over A Week...So If I Wired It Wrong I Think It Would Have Gone Dead Already. I've Been Doing Lots Of Crusing. So Im Guessing It Is A Bad Alternator Or It Just Went Out.

Any Advice Is Well Apreciated

Thanks,
Chris

Why do you capitalize the first letter of every word? Anyway, the fact that your gauges were jumping around makes it sound like you have a bad ground. This could also cause your battery to die. Take your car to Autozone or something and have them do the free charging system check to make sure it's not the alternator and check all your grounds (especially the one from the tranny to the frame). Good luck.

First Letter Capitalization Is Just A Habbit...Kinda Lets Me Be Different
