Okay the first one would probably qualify for 'this weeks stupid qestion' but anyway, you guys should be used to it from me. The alternator, can any alternator suitable for a V8 fit, or does it have to be a specific one, the autolec suggested I get a Bosch that has a built in regulator ....what are your thoughts on that. Never got the car to the autolec, its pouring with rain, and I am not leaving it there. I read on one of the threads that you get different voltage regulators, which is the best one to get.
Damn, now what was the second question, oh yes, the brakes locked, on the one side, yesterday, nice cloud of smoke from the one tyre, driving slowly as well, braked, locked, smoke. It loosened up after a while and then the brakes were working normally, well, when I say normally, the same as they were, which I think I have mentioned is not that great. So what is the diagnosis, I would like to take her in to a brake place and have them checked out thoroughly, or should we just bleed them.
Coil, where should the coil be, on the 70 its vertically attached to the engine, on the 72 its horizontically attached to the engine, on our other cars its vertically attached to the side of the engine bay, I remember reading somewhere here that its dangerous to have it near the engine, or something to that effect? I think it was a comment on a photo of someones engine.
