Christmas Holidays
Well my christmas started early this year, but I have to work between the holidays, its not so bad I just get bored out of my brains when I'm off to long.
Still it is a good time to see about doing a good deal on Ebay for an alternator for the ol' girl, but what one do I choose and who do I buy from?
Not a footie fan but I just had to get a photo of the "Best" Man's ground, as a mark of respect, can't deney the fact he was a good player and a show man even with his drinking?

Alternative Alternator
Well the auction finished at 04:23 this morning and whilst it proceeded to rattle past my maximum bid I secured a deal for a more powerful one with a much more helpful guy, by the name of John Matheson at A1 truck (a-1truck@sbcglobal.net) only I have to wait awhile, but can't drive the car at the moment the weather is not warm enough for cruisin', window open, shades on, music blairing out, tyres smokin'.

my mindful car
This car of mine has a mind of it's own,.... no it really has got a mind of its own, every time I want to go to my local mustang club meet,it has its hairs and graces and breaks down.

First it was the harmony balancer cost just over the hundred pounds including T. Blairs profit..
then a cam follower gave up the ghost and a new camshaft was needed, with numerous other parts including a water pump, radiator and rebuilt starter motor and a new battery life was breathed back into her.
Then some help from a couple of holley gurus and the carb was sorted.... have you ever seen a V8 petrol fountain.... pretty hairy even from behind the windscreen.

Now it's the alternators go, firstly a quick check of the voltage at the battery showed only 11 volts, then two weeks later 8.5 volts and several jump starts later and the alternator is now riding shotgun where ever I go in hope that I can find somebody to rebuild it after its been chromed.

Lazy Power Steering
Well end of another day grafting away on the car. This time its the power steering pump that's given up the ghost, so yesterday mornimg it was out with the spanners and off it all came that is the power steering gear, pump, ram and hoses, after a visit to an old school buddy who told me to buy a "bullworker", as I know he's into american cars I thought he may have had a pump for my car but all he could offer was a GM. item and it would take as long to fabricate some brackets to fit it, as taking off all the works and converting over to rack asnd pinion and some...

Garage
Whilst my beloved 'stang was away in a garage, early this year. I was robbed, now I will do all my own repairs, I really do enjoy tinkering, as some people call it, I call it improving and I have done some really good jobs on my stang and I am not going to be robbed again, anything I can't do doesn't get done until I have learnt how to do it??

Charging Sorted?
Well I think I have sorted my charging problem, after reading "Chiltern's Workshop Manual" about how to test voltage regulators, I found that where it says terminals "a" and "i" should have 12 volts supply I found that terminal "a" has no spade connector in the terminal block so protem a small piece of wire bridging terminals "a" and "i" and bobs your uncle it works 14 volts at the battery when you rev the ol' girl up and 13.2 volts on tick-over. So hopefully its done and dusted.

still got trouble
Well I couldn't wait for the new alternator to arrive, and when it did, I fitted and started the ol' girl up and she run like a dream. I went out for a drive and visited a friend, then come home parked her up and went to bed, got up the next morning only to find it wouldn't start again..... the problem a flat battery... back to the drawing board as we say...... but the new alternator is charging and the battery is new and I also fitted a new regulator.... so I thought it was the ammeter which never seems to show any reading but he is an induction type, so really shouldn't give any trouble...... but I think he does......more to follow.
