18psi, random question that I just remembered: Where you in the black hills at any point last year? When I was there I saw a Miata that looked very much like yours with an "AEM" sticker on the drivers side fender.
This was in July sometime.

Goddamn it! Electrical gremlins everywhere. On my way home from bowling just now my 2 feed wires off the alternator for my 100w headlights just burned in half at the terminal. I had been noticing weird light dimming when I first turn them on, I guess that was them overheating and melting away. Maybe that's too much headlight for this sissy alternator to handle. The wires, loop ends and fuses are all well suited for the job... oh well, something else to wake up early for tomorrow, along with packaging and shipping a goddamn 100lbs of exhaust.

If this ******* alternator wire burns up again, I give up on life. Instead of a separate loop end for main car power, and one for each headlight, I combined them all into one big *** copper 2ga battery end and solders the **** out of it. Also cleaned the grounds better. On the initial install of the lights, I didn't sand the paint very well. Now everything better be gravy.
Even the main for the car coming off the alternator was nearly burned in half. It was hanging on by flakes of metal. So I'm either asking too much of the alternator, or the separate loop ends were creating a lot of gaps and it was making it overheat. Wouldn't bad ground cause excessive resistance in the circuit?

I ******* knew you were queer.
Most of my closet consists of jeans and tshirts. On the norm I wear steeltoe boots that are so old the toe is exposed, jeans and a sweatshirt. Sometimes on the weekend I splurge and wear a collared shirt or sweater, but that's if I have to.
Unfortunately I've worked my whole life and don't have time to play dress up. .......and by work I mean man work......not clocking in at an office some place.
