It appears that line wrap may have cut off the end of the links and confused
some folks. The items in question were the last two pictures. Several folks
identified the piece on the alternator, so now the remaining question is
"what the heck is that big rusty iron piece I'm holding...?"

Subject: Can somebody identify/explain these?

I was trying to get to my Idle Control Computer and found this thing hidden
in the space:

618

It looks like something I would've found in Grandaddy's barn, and therefore
I want to think it has something to do with horseshoeing, but I don't know.

I decided to put the alternator from my '86 in my '87 because I thought it
was making some bearing noise, and when I picked it up it was like this:

010

That wasn't the way the alternator was configured in the '87 so I changed it
around. Anybody know what's going on there?

Cya,

Robert
