I’m replacing the alternator in my ’70 1.7 teener. The cooling boot/vent whatever it is called was missing (99.9% of it). I located an alternator air exhaust elbow on-line that I think attaches to the port on the back of the alternator but I’m not certain where the other end goes. There doesn’t appear to be a place for it to attach to. This elbow is only about 3.5-3” overall so either it isn’t the right part or I’m missing something, figuratively and literally such as more tin. There is a small port slightly below the alt. pivot bolt area coming out of the fan housing. It has a rectangular opening of about 2” x ¾” but for all I know that is part of the heating system and the elbow I have won’t stretch that far.
Would anyone have a picture of what this “boot” is supposed to look like and how it hooks up? Comments & pics are much appreciated. keith |

The round end of the boot goes in the blower housing and is held in place with a spring clip ... good effin luck getting it in place without dropping the engine and pulling 1/2 of the blower housing.
Sorry, no pic on the 'puter |
