candy for the car the ball joints have greace fitings though I think my old ones were made greaceable few years back ,for about $300.00 for both sides no brakeing the bank an again better then the 22.year old parts on there ,time to make under the car look pretty too an while my buddie is still healthy ,this is where I get hands on to helping him.an learning how to do things myself an his hourly rate cant be beat an he loves working on old cars me too

 

also planning on a new alternator that better attaches to the block ,going to make some sway bar spacers couse my harmonica balance is to close ,does any one know of a different sway bar that would give the space I need ?? but the spacers seems the best way for that ,doing for now going to do a new bearing kit for now in the axle ,if I can I may just get the 3.23 ring an pinion ,the car feels so tight, sure don't feel like 2,73 ,but will know soon ,thing I got going now is my friend to help me work on all the things that is needed for long performance ,valve covers cast ,like 79.00 for a set ,otherwise the car is running sweet since we turned down the fuel mix an put the pump in back ,then its just the exhaust cut it off about half way ,then just put the 4 inch round jones ,all this should make the car run an handle so much better with shocks too ,like said my plan is to totally restore the modified 95 406 car over time the next few years ,an so about 102300 miles on the car now is a great time for it ,<a href="http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/600iq/media/95/DSCN0210_zpsidvqyw9v.jpg.html][/URL]" target="_blank">[IMG]http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t530/600iq/95/DSCN0210_zpsidvqyw9v.jpg[/IMG]

 

? anyone know of a different sway bar for my 406 as the engine sits a bit lower are spacers the answer or a sway bar from a different car ,seems spacers will cost a lot less ideas would be greatful ,its so close now that my harmonica balance rubs on certain bumps not good

 

finaly ditching the mini denso alternator ,for a 100 amp an stronger bracket set up other was getting weak .so it will sit up higher too ,will probley have the only red alternator around rebuilt the alt from a 94 cutless as it has the 5.5 depth I need ,an the bracket from a c20 350 block all painted up with vht an the clear I may got with chrome bracket later they have cost me like $45,00 ,down the road could get chrome all will post pics when done hope Monday nice an shiney ,then when I get the exhaust fixed up then I can go anywhere an no more rattle noices

 

better even is this putting it in today

 

did not use the bracket as it was for a long pump so modified a bracket ,know one would not know that its not a brand new set up I like it ,now the ticking noise is gone an 105 amps is more then enough an looks like it belongs from 94 cutless

 

got a squeak belt may be to tight but its intermittent ??? , fan hiting somthing ,other wise 14.4 volts,going to try belt dressing an loosen it a bit

 

going to try to fix the squeak any ideas would help ???

 

Try spinning all your pulleys with the belt(s) off and listen. Did you happen to get coolant on any of the pulleys or belt? That can cause a squeaky belt.

 

Check your pulleys for alignment. They need to all be inline. This may require using washers as shims to move stuff in and out. Also none of the pulleys can tilt. The pulley's center lines should be very close to parallel.

FYI, paint and assembled alternator is a bad idea. Paint will get in the circuits and cause issues down the road. Also the paint acts like an insulator and hold in the heat which will shorten the life of the electronics. Besides unless all the oxidation was removes from the aluminum it is just going to peel off over time anyway. To get all the oxidation is normally a acid dip process.
