The battery had two dead cells and the rest of them weren't great. A new battery spins it over noticeably faster. A significant part of the problem was that the alternator belts were loose. NAPA belts, about a year old, retensioned, etc. Either NAPA belts are not so good anymore or the bushings may have pooped out. Charges on the high end of the scale (~14V) with high beams on and blower at full tilt. 30mV between the alternator case and the intake manifold. It's supposed to warm up so I can give the bushings a look.
