    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    Well, you have the pos + stud, the isolated grd stud, and then a little tiny stud? I know on the drivers side the tiny stud just has a small gauge.... brown? wire going to it. I *think* (which might be dangerous...) that the two red wires go to the + stud, and the red wire with white stripe...

    Ok... I could use some help with where the wires go on the passenger side alternator... I have forgotten, and the diagrams in the TM's isn't to helpful for me. I tried just to find a photo that someone might have taken of the passenger side alternator, but can't seem to find a good one here...

    ok, well the day is getting away. Got a couple things I need to do, and then get back to work on the truck. So long as nothing else comes up, I think I can get everything under the hood buttoned up. Still got to finish wiring in the temp gauge and oil pressure gauge though, not sure if I'll get...

    haha, yeah amazon always seems to have it don't they, and it is the exact one you sent. I figured it would be a generic looking replacement. I was going to try amazon next, I only tried advance auto because someone in the thread said they had them. Thanks for the link, I'll get one ordered...

    How about this one... now that I see it, I think this may have been what was on it, and it was leaking oil around the cap, so I may have put the cap thats on it now on it. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/edelbrock-oil-breather-cap-4403/10233411-P?searchTerm=oil+cap#

    I'll take a look at the main seal, but as far as I know the only leak I did have was from one valve cover, which should be fixed with these new gaskets and sealant. And yes, I would much rather do it now while its still warm weather... as I think its going to be a bad winter this year, all the...

    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    Wow, Ok. I'll definitely give that thread a read. Like I just editing my previous reply, After thinking about it, I'm not sure... I can't remember if I replaced that cap or not... it seems like I can remember it was leaking oil out of the cap or something... Could that mean the CDR is bad? I...

    Thanks Ken for the comments, and yeah I really hope it runs good without any further issues. If nothing else comes up, and nothing that pulls me away from working on it, I might be able to get it done today. After everything under the hood is done, I just have to finish installing and wiring the...

    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    nope, that was the cap that was on it when I bought it. If the guy/shop who had it previously put it on there, I don't know. Didn't know there was a different cap? ---------- EDIT: After thinking about it, I'm not sure... I can't remember if I replaced that cap or not... it seems like I can...

    ha ha :grin: wow Thanks. I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Wasn't exactly how I intended to do it when I started the modification, but it works and doesn't look like a botched up mess. I like fabricating and building things, its interesting and you never do the exact same job twice. Being...

    ~ CUCV 6.2L Intake Modification Continued ~ After I finished drilling the intake. I took a sawzall with a metal cutting blade, and cut down the 3 tall original bolt holes, and tried to make them as level as possible for the new bolt angle. Then I took a die grinder with a sand paper disk to...

    Ok... I'm finally back. Had some things tie me up for a while, then the power went out... don't know why didn't have a storm or anything, I guess they must just be working on the lines or something. Anyway, Thanks Guys for the replys on the alternator and belt problems. They helped alot...

    Ok...... does anyone by chance know if there is a belt routing diagram in ANY of the TM's??? :shrugs: OR if there is one shown here on SS anywhere? I've been searching for over an hour... the drivers side alternator is not even close to lining up with any pulley, and I can't figure out which...

    Yeah, after looking at Barrman's photos, that's what I was thinking. Yes, its obviously going to need some shorter bolts to replace the longer one's. Barrman mentioned something about wedge washers, I've been looking online, most are only in large quantities, and only 1/8" on the thick end...

    Good Morning Tinstar Normally I would be right there with you. I'm just like my father, "...if its worth doing, its worth doing right..." Thats what he taught me as I was growing up, and he's still the same today. Usually if I am going to do a job, whether it is a small thing or something like...
