Here's the latest:

I charged the battery overnight. It read about 12.8 volts after charging. I let it sit for an hour or so, and it read a bit lower, but not much. I started the car and, of course, it dropped due to the draw of the starter. I watched the volt meter as I revved the engine. Nada. Zip. It didn't move at all when I revved, and in fact it dropped a bit as the battery powered the various electrical bits in the car.

So, it's pretty clear the alternator is shot. I'll drop it off at the rebuilder this week. I'll also take the battery in to have it load-tested. If it's bad, too, I'll replace it.

Thanks for the help, guys.
