Man you had quite the time there, dead blow hammer and a lazer thermometer, I want one too. There are two Princess stores close to Toronto. One is practically at Mississauga an adventure to get to at the best of times. Probably an hour or more drive for me. the other is Newmarket which is a straight run up the 404, probably 45 minutes.

It's TOO easy for me. I work about 10 minutes from a location. It's the only store you go to where GUYS are pushing shopping carts! I also bought a volt gauge on sale for $6.99. Nothing but the best for my Laurentian! biggrin

Actually it works well and looks pretty good too.

Shoot, I was there 90 minutes ago after I left the car show. I never saw those.

Oh well, I got our "nice" 94 Impala SS (vs the beater 6 speed daily driver 94) out of a 2 year storage this weekend and made to trips to Winnipeg with it. Looks like maybe one more trip before it goes back to hibernation.

and what does it read? on your car..

Canadian Poncho · A Poncho Legend!

Well, I drove the car today and the gauge stayed at half. I tried to duplicate when it last overheated-sitting in drive so that's what I did. The gauge started to climb. I got measurements that varied from 175 (rad hoses) to 212 (at the sending unit). I'm not worrying about it.

However now I have a volt gauge and it fluctuates wildly like an old railroad wigwag at idle between 12 and 14volts. Once you start driving it stays smooth at 14. Perhaps it's the nature of the old style external regulators?

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

I have seen that fluctuation sometimes on the old point type regulators but reading an ammeter,not a voltmeter. Not sure it's anything to worry about. Did you not say you had replaced your regulator though? Usually the new replacements are electronic even though they look the same on the outside.

Both the alternator and regulator are new..

Todd, have you taken off your ground strap(s) and made sure there is good contact? No overspray, loose fit, corrosion, or maybe semi broken? That has come up a few times for me on late 60's early 70's GM. Always had flickering lights on my old 69 SS Nova is how I found out.

Where is the one in Newmarket Ray? I know the one in Mississauga, the one in Barrie and the one in Whitby, but I wasn't aware there is one in Newmarket now as well.

You have to be careful with PA auto stuff, some is a deal, some is just junk. I also find it funny that people are constantly criticizing Wally-Mart because most of their stuff comes from China while nobody says boo about PA even though probably a higher percentage of their products come from China.
