The belt squeal was unbearable and damaging the belt. So go back to February for a reminder. 😉

I'll put an alternator on it shortly.

Hose the thing down with belt conditioner or rub a damn bar of Dial on the thing. Better yet, yank the belt.

It felt like an excuse to me too.

If that were true, we'd have a video with a squeaky belt. 🤔

Unfortunately you are sadly mistaken. I give zero f*cks what anyone wants.

A "new" 130A alternator should be here tomorrow. Throwing parts at it rather than cobbling together a solution from crap on the shelf.

New battery in.
Tune tweaked.
Loose fuel return line tightened.
Fuel pressure adjusted.
Belt squealing.
Alternator bearings seized.
Car runs.

Me:
Am I an a$$hole? Do I look like an a$$hole?

The Car:
Yeah.

I know the feeling.

And we'd ridicule it and complain about it with glee!

Set up the sprinkler for the kids and took a few moments for myself while they tormented eachother.

Now there are two spinning Chy-nah specials on this bad boy. Just need to deal with the high idle and missing tach signal.

To the tuna-mobile!
