Vid uploaded on alternator housing paint - I'd gotten a couple of PM's about laying colors on the plenum, and TB extension paint / decals. Not too much difference here, except for Aluminum paint...

It does NOT have polyglass + MEK hardener mixed into the paint - I haven't checked on miscibility in Aluminum paint. Anybody know already??? Lenny DaVinci I ain't; maybe I oughtta' check into Holiday Inn Express for a night or 2 here...

Anyway here, how did you know it's a 'thing'??? Kinda' flattered actually

No - haven't got it re-assembled [again] yet. And still thanks for the TB butterfly screws too!

and We Gone (parts CD), and geezer Own. Man.), and Dom, and someone else who sent me free stuff too - who WAS IT???

The paint on the alternator fan WAS not right. Like PW said, balance IS a consideration, and I'd thought of balance as I hadn't thinned it, or mixed poly/MEK in it. It definitely would have made for a balance issue, with some sags on one side. And stripping the paint off the fan was a PAIN.

Doesn't matter - not enough Global Warming to work outside right now anyway. My 'garage' is the perfect compliment to Lincoln's birthhome - ONE wall. And I ain't no popsicle. Plus the missing bolt is still in the same place where I found it with the spycam - and I don't have a clue where it actually is.

Gotta' replace one of the coolant manifold elbows too. Curious about Samco stuff - anyone ever heard anything about Samco stuff? Cliff by chance maybe?

"Samco" is a company that makes silicone hose products.

We now have un-branded reinforced silicone coolant hose sets and high quality SS clamps.

Yep...just as Jerry suggests.....and Jerry's hose clamps appear to be for silicone hoses also having rounded edges preventing the clamp from biting into the silicone hose.

I have a set of Red Samcos on a 91' and a set of hoses from Marc Haibeck (non silicon but perfect fit) on a 90'. They are installed

This was the video for painting the housing.

So now it's ready for some di-electric grease on the connector screws, and re-assembly:

What a great idea to video the operation. I was just this morning writing to someone my intent to do this on my upper control arm bushing replacement project.
Your vid motivates me to do so even more !
Thanks

You're welcome there!

I'm just trying to avoid the hesitation issue - hoping that the Z-Gods will make it will go away

Just a thought but if you are concerned with the heavy amount of paint on the brush, you might want to dab it into a paper towel to remove excess and then keep going back to your original amount laid on the part to thin it out. That is what my daughter (the painter) does with her work so that it's not to heavily applied. (Just in case you are planning on painting more parts but NICE JOB).

Are you saying you had a vacuum leak at the PCV tube? BTW, I have an extra of those.

Franke · 01-09-2014

Chuck, if you didn't have bad luck then you wouldn't have any luck at all.

Got a suggestion for ya...Use Tupperware/Rubbermaid or plastic containers (cottage cheese /butter etc.) with lids for your bolts. I also use old semi clear pill bottles with twist caps and label them as to where the bolts come from. You can also use magnetic parts trays sometimes. Not all bolts are magnetic so the different containers work best.
