Ricky, check the wire coming out the back of the alt. It's easy to pull from the connector pin when putting the engine in. Easy enough to fix too..... doesn't require a whole new alternator Good luck bro.

Yep, easy fix. You can get a new tail from a GM parts dealer, its a solder/crimp on tail to fix it.

Hey buddy.. I've seen you over on KYHP a little bit..
I don't know if you've thought about it or not, but if Bluecat could squeeze you into his schedule then it would probably save you a lot of time getting to EPP and it would be a bad *** tune... Not saying EPP doesn't tune bad *** because I have no experience with them yet, but Bluecat is basically local and everyone on KYHP swears by him, including me.

Good deal... I knew his schedule was tight, especially here recently with his mother having a heart attack..

But I'm sure EPP will hook you up with a killer tune and that thing will run like a beast... Everyone talks about how good their customer service and parts are.
