Haha, I suppose the goal would be getting it trusty in this case… and maybe a little less rusty so I don’t have to worry about falling out the bottom.

Great title for your post. It’s not easy to find a Kedett these days, Also, while this car may be rusty, I really doubt the trusty aspect.

So a German-built product from a GM subsidiary sold by Buick dealers qualifies, right?

Thanks Chris for your imput. all I have to do is remove the alternator bracket but the two bolts that hold it down are tucked behind the timing belt cover which will have to be removed. The bracket also holds down the egr valve and tubing..Just a pain in the ass that’s all. Thanks. You are right about the location. Without the ac it would be a piece of cake.

Hi Jimmy – I don’t remember changing the alternator being that involved – I think I had to pull the air filter, the right-side shock-tower-to-front-bulkhead bracket, and then loosen the alternator brackets to remove it. In my car, the alternator was on top, above the a/c compressor and power steering pump if I recall correctly. If that doesn’t help, let me know and I’ll try and find a pic to clarify.

Hey Chris, how did you go about changing the alternator on that sedan? I am diving into mine and it seems that without removing the adjusting bracket for the alternator, and then pulling it straight up is the only way. The manual says to remove the radiator grill and do it that way but they fail to mention that if you have a/c, that way is impossible. So to remove the adjusting bracket means removal of tire, wheel well, timing cover, egr valve and lines etc….. Is crazy or am I crazy?? Appreciate your feedback on this. Now if only that guy who just won this dam car came through with the payment, this would be a non issue except now I’m motivated to finish this never ending project!!!!!(25years)Yikes:(
