A) Alternators generally fail when they have PS fluid or oil leaking on them B) Not unusual for original fuel pumps to still be running well at this age c) Keep an eye on connectors (I'm already replacing coil packs and have been pulling and cleaning a few here and there. Zapping green corrosion.)
Sounds like I'm on a decent track as far as the order of critical things I'm going after. (thumbsup)
