I know we have a few expert mechanics on here and I need some of that knowledge please....
1976 Corvette with stock 350. The car ran just fine until one day it wouldn't start and once jump started it wouldn't charge the electrical system and turning on accessories like headlights caused power to decrease and die. Alternator was replaced and everything worked fine for a year but the same thing happened again. Alternator was replaced despite it being tested as good at Auto Zone. It ran great for a month and then same thing again.
Is this a case of multiple crappy alternators from Auto Zone or is there another possible reason this is happening?
Thanks
