[V8] Just when things were looking good.....

Well I went out to turn the car around to work on it, and it wouldn't  
start.  I swapped the battery and when I went to test the charge of  
it, my tester wouldn't turn on.  I replaced the "best if used by  
2004" 9v battery in the tester, and after starting the car.....it's  
charging @ 14.2!  The dying battery in the tester was apparently to  
blame for the erroneous readings the other day.....Really glad I  
checked, as I'd be swearing at that serpentine belt right about  
now.....Moral I guess is test the batteries in the tester before  
doing any electrical diagnosing......could save a bunch of time.....Tom
