ok so heres the scenario;

first, out of nowhere, my car wouldnt be getting any power when it was off (i.e. when the doors are open and the key isnt in it the interior lights are supposed to come on. or when you open the trunk the trink lights come on.) and when you turn the key to accessory nothing would happen either. (usually as you know the guages would turn on and you would have power for the windows, radio, wipers, etc.) but i could start the car and everything would work.

next, when driving the car the lights would click and flicker when i touch the brakes. like the brakes were shorting out the circuit.

then, i was driving and my car started bogging out and it just died. no more power. wouldnt start. couldnt even roll up my windows.

now, i know it isnt the battery because its a brand new red top. and i know it isnt the alternator belt because my water pump was working fine. im guessing the alternator but i dont know. i relocated the battery to the trunk. the way the lights would almost short out when i hit the brakes makes me think that its wiring. but i dont know. i hope it isnt anything too serious.

and i dont know if i should start a different thread for this but has anyone figured out a good way to deaden the sound of a 255 walbro with a rewire kit? its loud as hell man. my dog goes ape shit everytime he gets into that thing.

thank you, dale

any response will be greatly appreciated.

BTW heres a pic of my rebuild. out with the 7 bolt and in with the 6.
