I’m driving my pile back.

Toes to be dipped in the Gulf, some (or a lot) Texas barbecue and on to Monument Valley to check off a ‘bucket list’ item.
Should be epic.
Now to prep the 80...

Oreillys alternator (ya ya whatever) capacitor off core alternator which is gone now and no I didn’t pay close enough attention to its mounting placement.
New alternator is a bit different which is not abnormal but their mounting picture doesn’t correspond very well.
Where exactly does the...
Bought aftermarket alternator(ya ya whatever) and had to swap the RF capacitor. Didn’t pay enough attention to where it came off of and now I’m not sure as the new alternator is slightly different and the picture instructions aren’t specific enough.

I don't see anything suspicious in the oil either.

front finally engaged but I don't think the rear ever did.
as I'm driving...
Purchased a used rad from local bone yard for our 91 lc. Degreased exterior and painted.
What can I do to the insides other than flush with the hose? Little bit of a lite colored crusty buiild up inside.
I think this ones been recorded because the bracket to core bolts have 13mm heads...

One's from the valley and one's from TX. There is a price...
