If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

You may find that it will keep the engine running after the ign is off,has been mentioned on here previously,and after 40 odd years in the motor trade alternators do nothing for me except cause problems
