August 21, 201113 yr Author comment_364518 Thanks guys for all the info, since the car will not be moving for a bit I am going to address the brake system first then replace the battery on it shortly. Dave's harness does sound like a great upgrade to the car, since I am not the best at electrical work I couldnt make my own up. Plus, Im putting brighter HID lights on it so ill have to have the harness in there.

August 21, 201113 yr Author comment_364520 You should look into the internally regulated alternator along with Dave's plug (this whole thread is starting to sound like a plug for Dave). This topic is discussed significantly on this site. My cost all in was around $60.00. This bypasses the old mechanical VR and provides a more stable, higher output. It is a simple bolt on, completely reversible, and takes about a half hour once you have the parts.Hmmm Ill have to check into that when I get the harness. Looking through the receipts from my car the alternator on the car is practically new, but if I am not pleased with its performance that sounds like a good upgrade for it. Plus, if the VR is bad on my car it will make the decision that much easier. Thanks!
