NY/NY/CT/PA Driver! The July bash at the Barn...

Just pop into the local "AutoZone" and ask them to put it on the tester(its free). They will put you in the right direction quick and you will be on your way. It sounds as if you have a bad battery since your system is putting out the voltage. Get the car running and disconnect the battery. If the car dies, then you have a bad alternator. If the car keeps running, then your battery is bad. Good luck with that.

It's just I'd rather not get stuck over an hour from home with a dead battery. Then again, I could roll it down a hill and pop the clutch to start it...
