[T3] alternator install

[Brian <vwfye@frontiernet.net>]

<x-flowed>Well,
Toby and I did the alternator install on the 73 square this weekend.  IF 
your wiring isn't all hacked up, it is straightforward and about 1.5 
hours worth of work.  If the wiring is a mess, adjust install time as 
needed!  Thanks for coming down Toby! :-)
All it took was aquistion of the alt, a belt and about 9 inches of flat 
iron to do. I took about 2.5 hours (we were doing other things at the 
same time to the electrical system) and it was pretty straight forward. 
Just had to return the 1st belt and get one that fit better. the 
alternator looks like it belongs there too!!! No more VR to deal with 
either! This alternator is rated at 55 amp, more than enough to run 
everything on the car at full tilt.
