    Tragic accident in Tacoma! This is not B.S.!

Wow that was scary, yeah I know it was a freak accident and you're more likely to get hit by lightning but it was still a little nerve wracking. The organisers did a good job though, there was a moment of silence for the boy...

    One or Three wire?

    Ok I've seen the argument go back and forth for a while (politely by the way, no small feat) but I'm still no closer to an answer. I'm gonna switch out the generator in my 65 122s for an alternator but have no idea which one to use. Anybody have a simple pros vs cons between the two? Does one...
