Jumped the battery and charged the battery. It fired right up. Let it idle for twenty minutes or so. It held just under 1000 rpms. Took it for a good drive. Man I love the clutch and transmission on this car. Absolutely genius feel. Got back in the driveway and let it idle some more. Shut it off. Then started it up again fine and let it idle again for a bit. Seems to be fine. I think that the OO(Orig.Owner) let it sit for five days right before I got it. He was out of town and the only one using the car as a short commuter for years. So with the short drives, ten minutes twice a day and none on weekends and then the final blow of sitting at the curb for five days must have done in the battery. Its a SAAB battery alright. And there was a spark when I jumped it. Perhaps it had not fully drained. It sure fired up fine. Will see tomorrow about the alternator. What is the test to determine the ability of the alternator to do its job of recharging the battery?
I love the way the started motor just popped that engine over in a nano second. What a great car.
Thanks to everyone for helping me clear up a few questions.
Jason
