Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Plucked the engine today, going back tomorrow for a few hours to get started on the shocks and get the pedals back out. One cool thing I did today as I was trying to swing the alternator out of the way and zip tie it up, I thought better of it and put a nutsert in the inner fender, now it bolts up out of the way quick, easy and won't fall out moving the car around.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Sunday morning brought a few hours of "car time". Got the shocks swapped out and the pedals out again.

(photos removed) RE Post #804...Wait, Eight Hundred and Four posts in one thread??? Is the alternator in an independent cage that is bolted to the inner fender so that it can swing into position when in use and swing out of the way for service? How is it secured and tensioned? Mine is in a cage that bolts to the cylinder head (sbf). Did you have to fabricate a backing plate or are GM alternators body mounted? I have a mini on a V belt and a full size one on a Gilmer belt. The idea of getting the darn things out of the way is appealing. Is the meter in the panel wired to the alternator? Volts or amps? Sorry for the gibberish. I am fluent in Fordish but my GeneralMumble needs work...
