Hey Mike,
After we left you yesterday afternoon, The trip back over the
Sierra^1s
last night was horrific. Rain started just above Placerville as we
hydroplaned many times the rain was so heavy. The snow started below
6000
feet causing white out conditions several times. At the top of Echo
summit
there was a Bad Head On collision that closed the highway in both
directions for quite a while. Certainly no place for Pantera^1s
yesterday
evening. Apparently The Reno Tahoe Pantera^1s stayed in place for
good
reasons.

Hi guys,
Just got home from a terrific weekend in the Sierra foothills; 24
Panteras (of the 36 scheduled) took part in the Niello concours at
Serrano. It heaved down with rain for a very brief period, but that
rain then turned to snow which kept the large Reno/Tahoe contingent
from braving the summit. Still, a great time was had by all who
attended, and we drove home in splendid sunshine.
We were driving in Lori's Pantera, which has a flat firewall kit and
uses a GM alternator with built-in regulator. She drove the car to
Vegas this spring, and the alternator failed while we were there.
At
first it started acting erratic, with the amp needle bouncing
around,
and then finally it quit and just showed a partial discharge.
Testing
at the battery revealed it was doing nothing at that point. We
replaced it with another one, which did exactly the same thing and
failed about 50 miles from home.
We replaced THAT one, and the third one has worked fine until today.
But it probably only has about 250 miles on it or so. On the way
home,
once again, I noticed the ammeter needle behaving erratically, then
it
quit and showed partial discharge for many miles, then briefly came
back to life and showed a very strong charge (since we had been
running
on battery power for awhile), then discharged again.
Methinks the problem is not simply that alternators are failing, but
rather that there is some sort of fault in the electrical system.
As
electrons are far from my strong suit, I hesitate to start diving it
to
it blindly.
What say all of you?
FWIW we've got a spare alternator we will be installing tomorrow,
which
almost assuredly will work just fine...for awhile anyway????
