Re: Remember Pearl Harbor
What is so dis-heartening, is that so many are just giving away what all these brave souls died for.

Re: JSeery ... How Very Sad!
RIP Jerry, I always will remember the amount of time you took with a rank amateur V8 caretaker like me. And many more I'm sure, he has been missed for some time now.

Re: jseery health issues
I have also missed your posts and was wondering how things were with you. Hope you have good medical help and the cancer will be gone. Also thanks again for all the help when I rewired the 48.

Re: Not Charging
Could damage to the generator or voltage regulator have happened as a result of not polarizing? I was hoping DD would chime in.
