Darryl:
 As mentioned the rear main seal may be bad and should be replaced when the
trans comes out. I put them with my kits. Make sure the oil drain plug is
sealed properly and the pan gasket is not leaking.
As far as the alternator light coming on, tighten the belt a little, it
sounds like it's slipping. If the light still comes on, then the regulator
and application of compatibility may come into play. Also you may want to
add a small ground wire if after tightening the belt the light still comes
on.
The fuel distributor normally won't work good one day and bad the next. You
need to call me about that and I can help you straighten it out.

Subject: [DML] a few nit picks

Hi everyone I recently changed the automatic toa 5-speed and have a
few questions.
First one is I have a small tranny leak nothing big. What happens
wether I drive it or not a small puddle forms under the car, maybe
about a hand size. Its been doing this for about three weeks now. My
mechanic said he saw it in the shop but didn't get to look at it
just then. He suggested that it may clear its self up. Just wanted
to know if it may do this or not, I have been watching it and he
said to call him if it gets worse.
My next question is when I'm
driving the car if I don't shift quick enough at say first gear my
battery lite comes on. It has a brand new alternator which is an
upgraded GM one. It also flickers on and off when whithin the first
maybe 5 min on the road. It also does when I hit around 75-85 mph.
If I hit 85 it stays on until I let the car slow down a bit. The car
acts normal other then the cd player skipping on the first one or
two times. It did this when the automatic was put in also.

And the last question is my fuel distrubitor was recamended by my
mechainc to replace it, I wanted to do so and it was ready to be
done until the tranny went. At the moment my funds for the car are
gone:( I have to wait and build them back up. But what it may do is
