Yeah I hope I found it. I had been driving it for a couple weeks and would start up every time then I left it for a week and it was dead again. It never died while driving thoughSounds like you found it. Plus, if the alternator is bad, and isn't charging while driving, the car can't last long on battery alone without an alt. My wife has a 1969 Camaro and years ago, when we were heading back from an exhaust shop, her wipers stopped and the lights went out. If was during the afternoon, so the rain wasn't heavy and it was still bright out (though cloudy). We got it home (barely) but realized the alternator moved and the belt came off. The bracket was a custom job. Once it was fixed, and the belt put back on, it was good. But the car hated running on battery alone.
