man that was real fun! also fixed an oil leak from my pushrod tube that the PO tried to fix... we'll see if mine holds better than his. that alternator sucks! the new one i got had a really long stud on one of the B+ terminals, so i put some rubber grommets on it so it wouldnt ground out on the little air direction shield on the back. I couldnt believe Kragen had one in stock- and it wasnt their autolite brand so maybe it will last. this car sure does like to make me learn how to fix it.
