Hi Paul
What makes you say that? 

A little more, I checked the battery. I'm getting 12.3v at the posts. With ignition key at the on position I get the same at the alternator.  

Any leads welcomed. Any others with autozone starter experiences? Dealing with that particular store has also been frustrating. 

Thanks
Tony
