Electrical issues part 3 Help please.

My ongoing saga continues...
I started out by having over charging issues, my Alt/volt gauge was pegged for awhile...

Well, I figured my Alt. was bad, barely made it to the parts store...put on a new Alt...But the battery was now dead...From overcharging too?

Anyway it was fine for a couple days after getting a new battery...

So this morning, I notice the alt/volt gauge is undercharging...But flucuating some...
Anyway, now the car won't start, not enough juice...UGH!
Any idea's?

Well, come spring I might...Right now I am trying to figure out if I should buy a "Winter beater" and sell my 88 GTU ride or what?
I just met a guy last week who has maybe 60-70 Trans Am's from the first year (69) all the way up to the last year made...Very impressive collection!
I owned a 95 and a 89 GTA Trans Am...I have had my fun with them, but its not a good time of the year for them here in INdy...Thanks for asking though...You don't like yours?

Naw I like it, its just too big for me I miss my tiny *** rx7 that could actually take a turn and revved and drove so smoothly. Its a great car, gets lots of looks and compliments, its just not for me.
