What a crappy day in the desert..... About 2 inches this morning...

So I stayed indoors and get some of the parts ready for bead blasting and painting. The parts arrived from ASP in Florida (they have a "NO CHINA" gif and I have had great luck with their rebuild kits)

Pulling the pulley on the alternator.

Ah the old round back one wire and press it diodes! Love it!

Stripped and ready to blast. I will take it to my machine shop to press in the new diodes, change the front bearing and press the pulley back on. Use sockets to back up the diodes and bearings when you are taping them out of the housing. I needed some heat on the front bearing to get it to come out of the aluminum housing.

Good a newer style with the screw. My Coronet had the original that was a soldered here, what a pain..

Stripped down and the ASP parts matched for the rebuild. Bead blasting tomorrow.
