Hi V8ers,
Thanks again for the help last week with my alternator problem. Here's
the latest. I got Dan LaGru to overnight me an alternator bracket to
mount the GM alternator on the driver's side. I told the guy who was
going to replace the rectifier in my Lucas / Rover alternator for $75
(paid $130 1500 miles ago) not to fix it.
Bracket came on Saturday, and during installation, I determined that the
adjusting bracket conflicted with my driver's side radiator hose
location. Talked to Dan on the phone Saturday, said I hadn't given him
enough details and all conversions are different, and he said he'd take
it back. He called me later and said he would fab me up a bracket for my
engine this weekend, and I could pick it up when I'm in Detroit on
business this week. That's just great !!
So, still no driving, but making progress.
To keep me busy, I transferred all the running gear and most of the
little bits and pieces from a rusty running '65 B with O/D into a
restored and just painted BRG '65 body shell this weekend. I'm towing
it to New Jersey in a couple weeks when I move.
Safety Faster,
Rick
