Actually convinced the wife to go for a ride last night.
We went to Sonic for some root beer floats & corn dogs, then took some of the same over to my Mom's place. Pulled up to her place right about sunset, then remembered that I still need to aim the headlights and discovered one of the LEDs in the speedometer needs a reseat as well. Driving along with all the lights on and noticing the voltmeter's reading just about 12.5V says everything seems to be working OK, but when the RPMs drop back to idle, it seems to struggle for juice. Might be time for a newer, high-output 1-wire alternator, along with the H4 headlights and headlight relay circuit installation. It sucks kind of having to 'feel my way home in the dark.' Fortunately, there was hardly any traffic.
Still - had a great time... she seemed to enjoy it as well.
