  The 120amp alternator is sitting in my garage floor waiting to be put on.
Hopefully my crank bolt will come in today, so I can start getting things
put back together on Thursday (can't work on it tonight). From the looks of
it...it seems to be a direct replacement (knock on wood). I'll let you know
