Thanks! @fredallenburge if anyone wants to connect on IG, I post up a lot more there and about my other cars too.

So, pulled alternator, stripped all paint off of all points that contact the block or the bracket, reassembled and still no charge. Had it tested at Autozone and it was just bad for who knows what reason. So warranty got me a new one and now that's all behind me.

But then...

The rear mains seal started puking VR1 all over the ground every time I fired her up - doh!

So Sunday I pulled the trans and replaced the seal and all's good again. 5 hours flat to pull trans, fix seal, eat lunch and reassemble everything - decent

Now it's finally time again to go to Mexico and log some hard pulls to see if my dual Walbro 450 fuel pump set up is working. Also to log IATs and see if this Bell Intercooler core is working. I had them spec it for 800hp at 20psi on a V8 but it's tiny - 16x8x3.5". Seems way too small but I spoke to the engineer guy there twice and he assured me that's the right size fore the job. I do need to build some ducting for it also so that it has the best chance possible of working so that's probably next up.
