Project: Chan's Sloppy Seconds

[davej]

so while there's still plenty to sort out, the alternator took an unexpected jump to first in the list. the mounting tab had been "modified" at some point in it's life, and/or broke. notice how you can see the entire bolt and the washers to keep it pinched in place. long story short, it kept slipping off the bolt and running on the battery.



it was a gm in there, so figured i'd replace it with the same since the bosch was almost $100 more.


existing tab had been cut down a good amount, which is i guess why the washers were in there.



figured it should be a quick in-and-out job, i'll spare you all of the stupid details, but so many factors prevented this from going smoothly. eventually got it sorted and it's hooked back up.


have some parts coming from a donor car later this week, so hopefully i'll have more progress.
