[QUOTE="nascar03, post: 93412, member: 43"] Hi Gerald.. I'm not sure on the hot wire question..?? I think that terminal is hot all the time but I can't check my car right now.. My battery is currently(!) disconnected while I do some work on the car. Sorry. The alternator should be not getting abnormally hot. I don't know what to tell you.?? Something is wrong. Do you have an Amp gauge or Volt gauge in your dash??? Is that reading fine! 1975s gave an Amp gauge... I'm not sure what is common in a 1979 model Vette. Most places have an alternator/generator shop around that can bench-test it for you. Those old alternators generally just need a new diode trio to repair them.. Tires? How wide is super-wide??? I've run 265/50-15s or 255/45-17s on the front for 30+ years in slaloms and never had an issue. Some of my buddies run sticky race tires and I've not heard of a problem. Odd.... Now... About your postings.. That's 2(two) postings in 3 1/2 years! Something has to be done here!!!!! We need to hear from you more. And maybe a picture of your prize automobile. And. Did you ever get you clutch noise sorted out?? Graham [/QUOTE]
