Re: [AMC-list] 88 Eagle is home

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

The folded metal makes access more difficult and the pully alignment probably
means the brackets are bent (though they might be OK once the inner fender is
out of the way) and need replacment. Seemed easier at the time to just reply on
the battery - and it worked. Now I can take my time getting it fixed. The
elternator belt was still there but just hanging off the waterpump so I suspect
it came off in the accident.
