This is still the go-to for alternator replacement. Mine bit the dust at about 303k on my ‘01 LX. Went with a remanned carquest - didn’t want to shell out for dealership, NAPA isn’t even taking orders for the remanned denso, and there was only one unit within 50 miles of me at autozone and...

PM sent.

Thank you! I absolutely should have considered this- I really appreciate the help.

Sorry for the delay in coming back to this- covid/divorce and all that good stuff. Jim, you're definitely right about me having needed to wrench down harder on the 19mm bolt. However, for the pivot bolt, it measures 6". I'm wondering if I had somehow swapped it with another bolt I had laying...

Definite interest here- looks good!

Was planning on installing this after the desmog, but after reading many threads on the topic, have now decided against. Never installed, still new in box. $280 shipped in the lower 48.

*Air filter housing.

I’m going through this as well- use the doc in the below link. Lots of search results on here will yield different opinions- some like Weber, some don’t. A lot of people keep the stock housing and carb. I went with the JimC kit and had him rebuild my carb and recurve my distributor. Make...

Looking good! That was some serious rust.

Reviving an old thread (I promised I searched). I’m working to install the idler pulley on my ‘85. Smog pump out, pulley in, BUT I have 1/4” to 1/2” gaps for each bolt and nut on both the pulley bearing and lower mounting bolt. I don’t think this is supposed to be the case. My thought was...

No worries on the lens. A price on the White VCV and antenna if still available will work. Thank you!

SUCCESS! Bought a drill bit index, and began working my way into larger bits 1/64” at a time. I’d drill, then use a magnet to get the scraps. Even got into the block to get any bigger ones I missed. As I was backing out the 31/64, the remaining bit of the injector nozzle started to back out...

Brian is good people. Stopped by today to take a look and try to get at it. New plan of attack is to try to drill the injector/nozzle out and keep the original threads, and then plug it up. Started at 3/8, increasing by 1/64 increments. Been continuing to use a magnet to get the little...

Sounds good brother, thanks. I’ll see you then.

I was thinking I could pull the manifold, and at the very least replace the gasket. I was definitely hoping I could get everything back together without diving too deep; but if I’m going to spend the time to do it I may as well do it right. @brian if you want to swing by tomorrow, let me know...
