1 of 2 things. Nice to have a trunk I can make a plug off of. See if I can pop out a few parts and buy a nice T68 turbo.

So when I turned the car on there was no cranking. The instrument cluster lights all turned on, background light flickered and the needles went crazy bouncing all over the place. Voltage at the battery and all fuses. Idk. Getting a ride home. Going to bring a new battery see if that helps.

My alternator went bad and the dash board lit up like a xmas tree. Others on here had the same problem and repair costs were in the thousands due to stuff getting fried.

I had no cold crank amps in the battery so I am letting it sit on a trickle charger see if that will get it started. If I can get it started ill check if the alternator is bad. Hope nothing is fried. Just need to get it home or driveable to a better spot so I may load it on a trailer and tow it home.

I had no dummy lights on the way down. Like normally when the alt is dead and sucking battery life the headlights dim, sounds from radio/dimming, a light throws in the dash. Nothing. Start the car up and needles on the cluster go hay wire.
