Dying Altenator?
The other day I went to start the vette and the battery was dead, no surprise really. So I put it on the charge and had it charged up. I fired it up and let it idle to warm up with no accessories on. After about 10 (?) minutes I can hear it starting to sound kind of rought like it's going to die from not holding the idle. I get in an give it a little rev and it doesn't really respond so I look at the voltage and now it read 7.0 
I don't have a multimeter so I can't really measure voltages for you. Got any possible problems/solutions?

go to Radio shack and get one for $7.00, cheap investment. Prob Alt going, check the pwr wire from the alt, big one on back side, make sure not broken or cracked at connector.
