thanks for all the advice. Will take a copy of it all to the Mechanic. I also provided him with the Shop manual, all 900 plus pages of it. This car has just about everything replaced on it, even mechanically, the clutch has been upgraded to the 83 version. All new boots under neath. All of the steering parts. I've had a lot of alternator problems, think I'm on my 4th or 5th one. The Mech says that I probably should replace all of the air hoses next. i'll post what he finds out. I would be nice to be able to stop for gas and be able to shut the motor off.
