Installed a new alternator. On the last drive of the season last year, I noticed my voltage was low. It was just below 13 on my gauge. I was pretty sure it was bad so I ordered a new one last week from Summit. I fired the car up today and the alternator was only putting out 13.2 volts on my meter so I swapped it out. The post for the power cable on the back was loose.and it rotated when I tried to remove the nut. So I had a little struggle getting it off and broke the connector/terminal off in the process. Had to run out and get a new one since I didn't have any that would work. Now I need to find someone to rebuild my original 70 alternator which I'll put back in.
