Alternator Adjustment Bolt

Tossing in my .02. Here's a picture of mine and I believe it is correct.

 

Hi Brian,

Your bolt may be the correct one that Brett/Dave posted in the first post. I would love to see a pic of the entire bolt removed, and since your upper bracket was installed on the wrong side of the alternator, perhaps you can snap a pic when you fix it? lol...

 

Well crap! I never paid it that much attention since it came that way. Slater and you are causing me too much grief!

While I have the bracket off, what color should the bracket be?

 

This whole mess is Slater's fault.

I'm just trying to learn and find him a damn bolt so he can sleep at night not worrying about the wrong bolt in his restored alternator in front of the wrong intake, wrong carb, and headers!!!

Just busting your balls, Brett!!!

I can't wait until you guys get to the discussion of the valve cover bolts.

I sure wish those rolling smileys were still around.

Here's some additional pictures of the bolt on my car. And I corrected the bracket position, thanks James. I'll get to the bracket color another day.

 

Brian,

Your bolt has a captured washer, which would make it incorrect.

It's just going to have to stay that way unless Slater comes up with a sack full.

 

Not to drag this on any further, but it is interesting how the 1970 and 1971 assembly manuals show different part numbers for these bolts. I wonder what was different about the applications that would call for a different bolt? They both show separate washers with the same part number.

1970 is top pic.

1971 is bottom pic.

 

James,
No, go ahead and drag this on for a while.

Here you go, Duane. Enjoy...

 

PS.
The 68 & 69 Bolt part numbers are the same as the 70.

.....and the 72 Bolt part number is the same as the 71.
