[Shotimes] VAK group buy

[Bruce Malachuk]

My dad Escort ZX2 has a problem with the alternator where it creates no
juice up past 4000rpm. Now he never drives the car hard, but while doing my
valve lash I drove that car home one night. I was constantly above 4000RPM,
the headlights dim a little, but everything else works and I know I ran the
car for well over a minute or two while the alternator was "cutoff" There
were no noticable problems other than the dimmed headlights. Granted the VAK
is a little different than a faulty whatever on the alternator of an escort,
but there aren't problems running the car solely off the battery for a
while.
