Jim Sims, you are quickly becoming my new best friend. (Oops, come to think of it, I have no friends since I bought this car and the marriage is on the rocks, too. Even the dog hates me.)

Thanks...

jack pad tool substitute?

My jack pad tool, along with the tool kit, jack and damn near everything else, was long gone when I got the car. Is there any substitute for the original jack pad tool or bar or whatever you call it?

You're right about the alternator. Put the CDI box in and the car fired up but alt. light stayed on. Removed alternator, shook it and three diodes dropped out.

I'd be interested, too. I'm using Castrol GTX 20-50 in mine, with a reasonable amount of leakage/burnage. I've got 130,000 miles on the chassis and about 100,000 on the Sc engine.
