Ok, All of you are going to make me step out of my asshole role and be myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) I cannot believe the out pouring of help and parts I was offered. I can't believe from this loose nit network that so many people were willing to go out of their way, sacrifice their time and parts to put me back on the road. Regardless of all the shit we throw each other's way, the political madness that is banned, we are a brotherhood of Teener owners and friends too. We may have never met, but you ALL came to my aid without asking for anything. Keep this club alive. I know I will pass on what I have recieved and I would hope that this kindredship permeates us all. I have the faith that I can take my Teener anywhere now and know that help is available (but next time I'll put the tools back in the trunk).
Now, the rest of the story............Got to Mike's place no problem. Went to install the parts and found out that someone had crossthreaded or ? the nut on the armature shaft. No way to fix it without changing the alternator. That I was not going to do due to the complexity. !st battery lasted from Tucson, AZ to just outside of Blythe, CA (250 miles?). Hooked up the battery pack and made it to Banning, CA (150 mile) where I had to stop and charge the main battery. Made it back to Riverside by running without lights when I could. Car is back in the shop and I am home. Tomorrow, maybe a change of the alternator, but for sure.......the AX so I can recieve the harrasment I so much deserve. An absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving.......A gagle of wonderful people........THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP THIS CLUB ARE THE ESSENCE OF LIFE AND GOODWILL.....THANKS TO YOU ALL. I OWE A GREAT DEBT TO YOU. THANKS |

You've have paid for your debt in advance. With all the free parts you have given, and all the help you have been.
Maybe I should refase that, all the herassment that you have given. 914 people rock including you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Joe |

Slits, glad you made it home and the Rattle Snakes and Gila Monsters didn't get you.
Shameless plug for the Arizona 914 Toy run on December 12. Slits said he is coming back to join us that weekend. Maybe some of the other So Cal teens would like to caravan over with him. Anyone passing through Arizona, we got some great 914 folks here. Always willing to help and talk your ears off about cars. Soooo, Slits said he has no fear taking his teener anywhere. Is it time to do a directory of names, locations and phone numbers for someone to call in an emergency? If anyone is interested, PM me and I will start a thread and build an excel spread sheet for laptops, palm pilots and pocket PCs. |

Well, your alternator can be bought at any flaps. Same with mine, That is why I went with the Chevy conversion, parts anywhere. Good to have a list though as you dont always have the tools you need to get it on the road again quickly. Of course, I always carry my AAA card with me. I posted my name and info for the spreadsheet.
