  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Alternator Clocking

    I was admiring the 70 GS for sale in CA and a picture brought a question to mind (and is by no means a critque of that car) -what is the correct clocking of the alternator? This car (and Joe Guzek's) has the two wire clip lead at 9 O' Clock, where as Jason Line's car has it clocked at 12 O'Clock (as is my car). Which is correct, or is it a assembly plant thing? And while we're on the topic, I dont ever recall seeing a Delcotron sticker on any of my past Buicks.. were any of our cars delivered with that? I tried to search this but it's kind of an obscure question(s).. Thanks 01111_kAJ2ceJa2bV_0gw0b1_1200x900 (1).jpg

    12lives Control the controllable, let the rest go

    Assembly Manual 12-8.6 view "C" shows the 2 wire clip at the top (12 o'clock)

    Thats what I would have thought, appreciate the response. And while in all these years I've never seen the Delcotron sticker either, I do kind of dig it...
