Re: Running rough - alternator?

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Before you worry about the engine running smooth fix ALL coolant 
leaks. In all likelyhood the plastic tank on the end of the radiator 
is leaking. Replace the radiator with the one that has brass tanks and 
pressure test to 15 psi for 15 min. After you have gotten the coolant 
system leakproof a full tune-up consisting of spark plugs, ignition 
wires, cap, and rotor will usually fix a rough idle. If it doesn't 
then you may have a bad-dirty fuel injector.
