92 power problems
I have a 92 SE. Awhile ago my battery gauge started dropping down to close to the red whenever i would break. The more i had on (air and headlights) the lower it would drop. I replaced the battery and put on a new serpintine belt. Neither of these fixed the problem and lately the oil gauge has also started dropping when i would break. Any suggestions? Please tell me this isn't a serious problem...

Very easy yourself. Remove the belt, remove a couple botls, and a wire and a connector.
Stay away from Autozone alternators. Lean towards NAPA if you're going local.

Make sure to disconnect the battery before replacing the alternator.
In support of Auto Zone, though, I've chosen not to buy their standard rebuilt alternators, but I have bought their more expensive duralast gold alternators (part #DLG1380-6-7) for my '92 SSE supercharged and '93 SSEi, and haven't had a problem with either one. They have lifetime warranties and claim to have been redesigned to tolerate the heat better and have 100% new parts. They cost around $130 if I remember correctly.

I gaurantee you didn't get a 160 from the factory. I have a 160 on my SSEi now, but it came with a 125 from the factory. My SLE came with a 140, which is not common.
MOST SE'* shipped with a 105.
