	This may be of interest. The voltimeter on my car 
(an 83 Trans Am) the past couple of days has dropped from 14 to 11 volts.
Yup, it wouldn't start today. Checked the fan belt for the alternator 
and it was loose. Now it's showing 14+ volts once again after a 
recharge and adjustment of the alternator. Hope that's settled, and 
can be of help to someone. Also, watch out for battery cables barely hanging
on to the battery posts! Anyone have any similar ordeals to share. Am 
still interested in positive recommendations for both shocks and tires. 
Thanks to those for the suggestions.
