It will probably be fine, given that it is most likely covered in oil/sludge, and it probably hasn't seen sunlight in 40 years. Mine was still pretty soft.
If you need to remove it, don't forget the c-clip on the inside of the fan housing (ask me how I know). You don't need to split the housing to remove or install it, but you will need to pull the fan to get to it with some long pliers. I had my engine all the way back together and had that clip left over. Could not think of where it went, but the board rescued me! |

No need to remove the boot from the fan housing .... you can disconnect it from the alternator.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I should have mentioned that. If you are just replacing your alternator, just loosen the clamp and the alternator will slide out. I was pulling everything apart and cleaning, so maybe a different situation. |
