The guy I bought the car from said he added zinc as well. Is that necessary?

I am finding so much conflicting information in regards to oil type. I have a 1985 c4 and I'm wondering what everyone is using regards to weight and regular or synthetic oil. It will not be driven in any cold weather.

I've been thinking, and I'm wondering if it was stalled out already when I noticed the low voltage. Going to have to double check when I get home.

There are no trouble codes

I also actually noticed that my alternator was only putting out voltage in the low to mid 12's when it stalled out idling down the gravel road.

Yesterday I found my 85 C4 started idling up and down. It still seemed to run fine when cruising, but then when I was going slow (about 30 km/hr) due to being on gravel, it stalled. I tried to restart it and initially it would not fire up. After sitting for about 30 seconds to a minute, she fire...

Thank you, I'll check it out.

Does anyone know the best place to get a new or used Targa top for an 85 C4 ? I've found a couple of places that will run me about $2300. I just don't want to pull the trigger in case there are some better deals out there.
