Just quick couple of things I learned along the way on this. It's critical to
get the pulleys lined up just right and to stabilize the bottom bolt, or else
the top bracket will vibrate and crack through. I destroyed two before I got
it right.
I seem to recall that there were a couple of wiring options. The one I chose
involved buying about three feet of heavy guage power wire to run to the
solenoid. Apparently these come in "big" strand and "little" strand. The big
strand version broke a couple of times at the alternator connector due to
vibration. The little strand version has worked great for two season of daily
driving.
That, by the way, is just another reminder of the kind of bugs that
restorations innately encounter, and why buying a "restored" car at top dollar
might be a frustration, unless from one of those top quality groups who
participate here on the List.
Has anyone ever put together a list of the more common bugs they encountered
after putting their restoration on the road?
