I've got a reman alt that will fit the bracket. Its lightly used. The problem I had is that the output is wrong so I had a helluva time getting the pulley to line up. Last time I did it the shims I was using got loose and Fred had to come rescue me with a junkyard pulley. This one has maybe 1,000 miles on it, I'd give you a great deal. Otherwise I'm going to start working out how to use it with a water wheel at camp... -Curt

I did not work on it much in the past 2-3 months. The console is back in. The (cheep Paké) radio is in. The Speedo works. (thanks Dan) The tach does not. Signal to the EDS Computer, tried 3 different computers and one different tach. ALTERNATOR QUESTION With the battery hooked up, there is about a 3 amp draw on the battery. With the car running, I get 9 V across the terminals. With the battery unhooked, the battery measures 13.1 V. If a diode is bad, how much current draw would there be? Last time I checked it a few months ago, I got something like 13.6 v with the engine running. I thought that was low, and figured the alt may be on the way out. Either way, anyhow, I think I am in the market for an Alt. Next projects: replace passenger seat (plug in and bolt down) Alt change/flush coolant replace rear wheel carriers/parking brake cables/parking brakes/rear brakes Check out front brake pads/sensors _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
