Got a squeal. It started last year, and I thought "oh, maybe just the belt". Belt is new, tightening it didn't help. Kinda goes away after the engine is hot (haven't been able to test that too much). Alternator works great. Starts to squeal as you give it a little and then stops around 2500 ish.
I still have to make sure it isn't associated with the 123distributor but if it is the alternator, what are my options? Looks like a rebuilt is around 250. Are they reliable? |

Just swapped out the belt with another I have, no difference. Looks like it's replacement time.

QUOTE(emerygt350 @ Mar 13 2025, 08:51 AM)  Just swapped out the belt with another I have, no difference. Looks like it's replacement time. Is there a backup in your parts inventory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) or a local rebuilder |
