Alternator Pulley Alignment

[ron & gina]

Hi Ted,

If its the same as my 73, There's a hole in the pulley to which you access
the tension bolt. I used the starter to get hole close to alignment then
used socket/extension to loosen bolt

Thats so right Rick,
You have to get down and dirty!!!!!! The info is all here on the GMCnet!!!!!
You just have to, Ask, Look, listen and put what you want to do to use and
you'll get what you want the way you want it!!!!!! Sometimes you just can't
buy that!!
