      - Haha, glad it was that simple! Should be right as rain once you get the new alternator in.   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-13 21:33:40 (210 views)
        
        Sometimes the fuel level floats get stuck too. Throw a bottle of techron in there once in a while.   -  jmohn  2014-04-14 09:47:15 (210 views)
        
        Just to clarify it ^^^^^He meant to pour it in^^^^^ not to throw the whole bottle in :)   -  TozoM8  2014-04-14 17:37:29 (199 views)

- Define "pulled". In your shoes, I would keep the alternator completely intact and attached... - TwoSeven 2014-04-12 21:23:50 (292 views)
  - Already did that - mclaire 2014-04-12 21:54:39 (248 views)
    - It may not, just trying to work out easy stuff first. The footwell connections can be fubar when dry - TwoSeven 2014-04-12 22:02:19 (242 views)
      - Agreed, I'll try that. And then I'll just wait for the alternator.   -  mclaire  2014-04-12 22:06:51 (233 views)
        
        P.S. Going out of your way to be respectful online is both super rare and much appreciated!   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-12 23:03:04 (224 views)

        That's the part I was referencing too, Paul! That little Achilles heel - like a Lucas design.   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-13 09:41:02 (205 views)
        
        Splice was fine, and the previous owner pinches his nipples  -  mclaire  2014-04-13 10:22:29 (231 views)

        Based on that, and the fact that the car's running again I'll just buy the Parts Geek alt.   -  mclaire  2014-04-13 21:37:05 (201 views)

        It looks different  -  mclaire  2014-04-15 14:51:37 (178 views)
        
        Yeah, I would not buy without a call or email to the seller first, but still - seemed interesting.   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-15 15:03:21 (191 views)
        
        partsgeek has a reman'd bosch unit for $131 free shipping, i would go this route over a used unit.   -  audinutt  2014-04-13 15:18:26 (262 views)
        
        Thanks  -  mclaire  2014-04-13 17:31:31 (200 views)
        
        Jump it and drive it off the ramps. She'll approve of the significant cost savings.   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-15 12:33:21 (208 views)
        
        nothing to worry about there...  -  BrianC72gt  2014-04-13 14:47:14 (233 views)
