I have no idea how long that alternator has been on the car. I bought it 3 years ago and the problem came and went, but I was indeed warned about it by the previous owner, who never suspected the alternator. I didn't either, until now. I will do as you suggest, replace the alternator. Two questions, though: Is that alternator the right one for the car? Is there even a way to hook that one up right or would you suspect it was never hooked up the right way, so it kept draining the battery? The car is a 68 400 automatic. I appreciate the help.
