Alternator

Someone broke off the alternator mounting bolt in the block and rigged up some sort of cable attached to the inside of the engine compartment to tension the alternator belts.  What a mess.  2.8 hours of labor to get it out and helicoil it.  A trip to the scrap yard and I was able to get a bracket and put things right with new belts.  The old belts were in pretty sad shape.  All the bolts are 10mm or 13mm.  I needed to remove the air mass meter to get at the back A/C compressor bolt to loosen it and get the A/C belt off.
