i really have no set business hours, gerry, beyond usually being around
from around 10 to 6ish on weekdays as i can talk to suppliers and ship
then. i haven't responded to your email as i have no one to talk to about
removeable diode assembly. i'm presuming you don't mean the voltage
regulator
Not knowing the official name and too lazy to look it up, I described the
voltage regulator as a removable diode assembly. It's the little gizmo
held on with two screws that can be replaced without removing the
alternator.
I can get a hueco glow relay for $85.xx plus $5.xx frt elsewhere, but
That's what we plan on doing. I got a clutch for a 10P that should fit and he

have a Harbor Freight store less than 5 minutes away, too.
It's not really a bad job. You want a soft faced hammer (plastic) to
drive the pulley off it you need to, you don't want to dent it. You

And your diagnosis pretty much confirms that. It could be
as simple as a broken joint at the connector, but you probably

I actually attempted to make some new bits for the snap ring pliers using 10
gauge finishing nails, whihc are just the right size. Unfortunately, the
pliers just won't hold them tight due to the length and the amount of leverage
being imposed on them (this snap ring is really tight!)

Good advice from Wilton. The monovalve stops water flow when energized if
