    '89 Classic w/ 35K original miles what's it worth?

    What do you guys think a southern Red '89 in VGC with factory guards and side steps would go for on Ebay? Looks to have been garaged. Seats don't look like they have even been sat in. Headliner is perfect. If there are no current issues what do you all think it would go for?

    Alternator replacement for '93 classic

    There was a thread about a month ago about using one for a Saturn. IIR the only mod was soldering on the lead for the tach.

Tried to spin it with a wrench and it wouldn't move w/o extreme effort. I pulled the plugs, no change; loosened the rocker shaft on the...

    Head bolt (alternator) snapped during install

    I test fit the bracket with the TTY bolt in place and it doesn't seem like I will even have to cut the tab. W/O the tab there is at least as much support for the ALT as for the A/C, which I would think is a much larger load when engaged. Explains why LR never came out with a tension bolt to...

    Head bolt (alternator) snapped during install

    Cool, yup it is a short one. I have a short TTY bolt. How do you mount the alternator without the stud?

    DOOHHHH! I screwed up and did ft-lbs not Nm. So, can I just get another one of these bolts slowly bring it up to 60 ft-lbs?
