Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

1979 T/A. When I test my alternator it is only putting out about 12 volts. Even when I rev the engine. I check all grounds they are good even ran my own ground from the casing to the engine block just in case. Could a bad battery make my alternator not put out enough? The alternator is a rebuilt one. Could it be faulty? Or could it be my wiring? I'm really lost at this point.
The old alternators use to have a diode trio in a single heat sink / bridge. The failure of one of the 3 would leave you with about 12v, not the 13-14 needed. I'd have a shop or parts store test it.
Figured it out. My alternator was bad. Auto parts store said it was good but that's because they don't put a load on it. I took it to an actual place that rebuilds them and they said it was bad right away. Got it rebuild and boom fixed. Even the remanufactured unit I bought from AutoZone was bad. Glade I fixed it. Never trust the auto parts stores.
