Thanks Terry I just grabbed an 85 bluebird one from the wreckers for $30. Thats the second one I've done in not many miles and each time its been the same with the back bearing being shot to bits. I checked the alignment and it seems ok, and i usually run the belt on the loose side. I'm wondering whether because the engine seems to run at higher than normal revs, usually always above 4000rpm, that maybe this is not good for the alternator??? Does it need to be geared up/down? Any thoughts? Cheers Mick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Rudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 10:55 PM Subject: RE: Alternators for L series
