I'm not sure if that was a compliment or if I just got insulted... I try not to vent my opinions too often or too strongly, but sometimes I just can't resist. I would have on the alternator issue, but others like Tom beat me to it. Anyway, Les and Wayne, if I can be of help I would like to offer what assistance I can. As with most of us these days, however, what I have least of is time. But in addition to having been an owner and parts vendor for the last 15 years, I am also (among other things) an editor of technical manuals by profession. I would like to be involved in the editing of whatever it is you end up doing. Contact me privately if you would. -- Darryl Tinnerstet Specialty Automotive 4 LaBelle Lane McCleary, WA 98557 PH: 360-495-4640 FAX: 360-495-4680
