Subject: Re: Blown A/C hose

Hello list,

I had the thicker AC hose blow after it came in contact with the exhaust 
crossover pipe, I would check there first.  Pray that you didnt blow the 
thick hose, because replacement is a nightmare (trust me on that one).

Best wishes for a safe and happy new year,
Andrew 4194

I was afraid of that, so I tried putting the wires from the alternator
together and then going to the light, but this didn't work; no charging,
no volt-reading on the gauge...
At Idle without any accesoiries running we got 13.4V at the starter-post,
revving the engine produced between 14.6 and 14.8V, dropping to 14.2V
with the lights and highbeams on.

Allready knew that from you ;-) Now I could REALLY use some suggestions;
without the light-wire I get no charging, without the sense-wire there's
no charging either! But I'd hate to burn up the regulator; should I put
in a resistor of some sort? Any suggestions?

I didn't pay much attention to the brand of alternator, but I know it's
an aftermarkert one, no Ducellier of Motorola. The owner bought it
locally.
If important I could ask him what brand/type it is...

Thanks for the help,

Subject: Broken bolt in engine block

Walter Coe pointed out an error in my previous posting.  I meant the Air
Conditioner bracket not the Alternator bracket.



The bolt that has sheered is a bolt holding the Air conditioner compressor
tensioning bracket.  This bolt appears to be broken with head and 1/8" of
thread shaft missing.  Is there a procedure for removing this bolt without
removing the rear fascia to gain access?  If not then how big a job is it
to
remove the Rear Fascia.



I guess if I remove it then I'll just take the opportunity to repaint the
thing also.



Thanks to Walt!
