Pretty nice day here, took the 951 out and then washed it, not often I get to take it out in January.

Ripped apart one of the spark plug wire boots when I wanted to check the plugs. It took a bit of McGuyver'ing to put it together so I could drive home.

Bought the right tools to install oil pressure sender, found out I had to shave the wrench down so it would fit, installed the new oil pressure sender...and then broke one of the electrical pegs. All in a days work, eh?

My Alternator decided to drop by 3V on saturday.

Got quotes for replacement alternator installation at local shops.
They were, respectively:
$1950
$2190

Ordering new alternator and assorted belts for "while I'm in there work" tomorrow morning.
