ok so this was weird. im at the gas station and when i get back in my car my tach isnt working bc it had gone off. i notice that all of my warning lights are on but the car is still running. i look at the volts and its running 10 or 11 volts. so i turn it off and back on and the lights are still on and still low power. but the tach is working. so i drive for about ten minutes and the power finally gets back up. when it hits 12 volts the lights go off and the tach also goes off. i dont know what the deal is it seems like i have a pretty bad electrical prob to me. im tired of tis car anyone want an 89 vert for $5500??

ok so the alternator died last night and i had it rebuilt this morning. it seems to be all good now. it was charging 14 volts and the tach was staying on and the CE light was not coming on. hopefully this solved all of the probs for now!!

that has nothing to do with your speedo shaking though

speedo is a mechanical thing, it would work if you pushed your

car down a hill with no battery or alternator in it.
