Did it end up selling on ebay or did it not meet reserve?

Hey, I might be interested. In the ebay photos I see that the one of the axle boots has what looks like oil or something discoloring it, and in another undercarriage photo I see what looks like a wet spot on the pavement. Do you have any issues with the axle seals, or any other leaks? Was the...

Thanks! Just renewed my TLCA membership just to see the article.

Got home late so couldn't do much. Confirmed that the pigtail that came with the last alternator had the same wire crossover. That was an ac Delco this is a Remy. That said, you have to have an adaptor to get it to fit. Looking at the back of this alternator the blades are where they should be...

You might be cussing right now, but when you get this back together and it's running smooth you're going to feel a much greater connection to it!

Good question. It came with the Alternator so I didn't question it (I'll grab some more pictures this afternoon and see if I can trace the wires continuity. Based on other threads the top horizontal spade should be E, the right vertical spade should be N and the left vertical spade should be...

Thanks for the reply. Resting voltage is about 12.4, I can confirm that this afternoon. Wires going from the VR to the Alternator are going through the original oval green plugs (and conversion pigtail that came with). The only wire leaving the alternator goes from the B post to the battery...

Before I dedicate a thread I thought I would toss this out here. Battery goes bad, I replace it. Test the alternator, it fails, I replace it. Drive to AutoZone to pick up a voltmeter, install it at home and it shows 17 volts at 2000 rpm. Confirm with my multimeter that it is closer to 18. That...

Might be a dumb thought, but what if he engaged the clutch, that will essentially disconnect the transmission from the equation right? I know it's not in great, but if you're worried about something in the transmission sticking it....

If I could get in on this I could probably be a link from Charlotte to Raleigh, I head up there on a semi-regular basis.

I'll be arriving tomorrow morning, as early as I can (need to look up when el dorado opens). Will I have time to get inspected and on the 9am trail ride, or does the inspection booth open later in the day? Also, the CB my friend was bringing is busted, anyone have any good tips on where to...

Great, thanks for that tip, I'll take the pressure off asap because that's what it is on. Snap ring is off, but it snapped off, had to basically be chiseled off as it broke my snap ring pliers :/ this thing had a few more problems than I expected.

I will break you.... I hope not at least. Soaked in PB Blaster, cranked down on this 5 ton puller with a breaker bar, applied heat, tapped around with a punch, applied heat. Still no budge. Going to let it sit under pressure for 24 hours or so and then take another crack at it. Thinking about...

Count me in! thanks for setting it up, I was just talking to someone that I was looking forward to these kicking off again.

I can't help with website stuff, but when she gets to it I might be able to help if she needs any drone imagery of property when the time comes. I have my commercial licenses, and I have a couple antique rifles I could use a smith to look over and see if there's an way to get fireable. .
