Just an FYI-
if you are experiencing an intermittant
loss of power to all of your accessories
while driving, trace down your ground wires,
one from battery to motor, one from motor to
frame (usually on engine mount) and be sure they
are not loose. THis is the second wag that i
have had this problem on, and it drives me buggy!

The later Wags had a grd wire from the batt to the body also. But usually just the body mount bolts are the only thing that grds the body to frame and they get rusted pretty bad. Adding a heavy ga wire from the batt to the firewall(paint removed) will cure a lot of goofy gauge/dash/alt fluctuations.
