|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...?"

|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?
