So, I put the new alternator in and install the fan back in it's housing. Fan spins free with no issues.

Then I put it in the shroud and tighten up the strap around the alt stand.

When I run the motor it makes a horrid scraping sound and metal shavings are a flying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Why? Help me.

I think it should read....fan housing locator slot , not "alternator locating slot"

Yup, you got me, so I looked it up, fan housing is the right name. lol

Short hijack, Dr Evil, went for a walk the other day up 35th st, didn't see any 914's, you did say you were on 35th didn't you? Or is my CRS acting up again. What's that old saying, of all the things I miss, I miss my mind the most (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Take Care all, Don
