    ill advertise in the parts wanted section and see if i get any bites... i think this alternator has been on the way out for a while as it was whining pretty bad for years!
    Yes they do - that aforementioned airpump
    (all cars after June '76 until ~ '79 sometime...)
    After that they magaed to ditched the airpump in favour of a more passive
    scheme...

    The < '79 cars had a double crankshaft pulley 'cos they had to drive
    that airpump, as well as the alternator. I think that the outside one drove the
    alternator, which was a hassle, since that required a different alternator bracket...
    Anyway, I assume from your comment that you have a 'normal' pulley,
    so I wouldn't worry about it - like Brackie says, no-one give a rats-xxxx
