thing on alternator is capacitor for electrical noise suppression,
"suppression condensor" (right david?) , an additional one to the one
shown with plastic connector inot alternator body. Why there are 2 I
don't know, my van had 2 also.

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:

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