Bryan, what model was the Merc 94 amp alternator? Did you have to modify anything to get it mounted? It sounds interesting. Thanks, Grant.

I am doing a little touch up on my A4 and the Rustolium primer works good and almost matches the original paint, but no gloss. I dont like spray cans for touch up or for storing in a boat or I would...

If you read up a little on trouble shooting with a vacuum gauge, I think you will find that the bouncing around at idle is a sign of engine trouble. Old tractor mechanics use them on many small gas...
