Speaking of dead alternator stories Jasper and I once drove from Reno non stop all the way home(900 miles, never turned off the engine). It was a Sunday and I could not find a Smuchcks to replace the alternator. Did not have a battery charger either. We stopped in LaGrande and bought a battery, drove till the lights went out, pulled under lights, slopped in the new battery never turning off the car and then drove home. Got home around 3 AM with bright lights and a spare battery for the tractor. These cars will run with no battery. Max

All this talk about V belts reminds me of when my harmonic balancer tore off my crankshaft on the #210 freeway around 11:00pm and I drove home with all the belts off. Power steering was gone, fan blade function was gone, as was any charging of the battery - but it was drivable and we survived to run another day.
