Alternator is in, still have things to do before starting the engine...
FYI if you need a wire boot for the alternator, you can check your local parts stores for a Dorman #85684.

You will need to cut the boot in order to get the connector through, unless you undid the connector and slid the wire through, then reconnect. Easier to slice the boot, connect and use electrical tape around the bottom.

Alternator went in with no problem, just takes some time to line everything up and make sure that all bolts are tighten...

That looks really nice Tom. Good Job.

Hmm I would have drilled out the bottom of the boot? Nice clean up on the brackets I did the same thing. I make a project out of everything while I am there lol

I didn't think about drilling out the bottom....that electrical connector for the alternator is quite large, it barely made it through the slit....lol
Thanks on the brackets, I too make a project of everything, although I could have cleaned this and that.....but that is for another day....

Will have an update later, as I am in the process of cleaning the primary butterfly in the throttle body. It was almost completely black with carbon. Wait til you see the q-tips!!!
The secondary butterflies had some carbon on the plate itself, just wiped that off, but did not disturb the "dag" (think I have that right) on the bottom of the plates.
Hopefully that cleaning of the primary plate will correct the slight idle issue I have been having.....
Off to the garage!!!

From post #40 in this thread....
"Beautiful weather here today, so I washed the 94 went for a ride, and came home. Now since the plenum pull I have noticed my idle at times being at
1000-1100 rpm's when stopped. Sometimes after driving and stopping again, it would come down to 800 rpm's"
"Cleaned out the IAC, had a load of carbon in there, put back in and all is good on the idle side.....on start ups, the engine revs up to 1700 r's and come right back down to 700 r's.....idle sounds real good....."

"I hear you there Mike, but my vacuum pump just comes on at start-up for 2 seconds and shuts off. I would assume if there is a leak the pump would run again to compensate for the loss. We really went over the vacuum lines and made sure they were secure as the plenum was being dropped.
Hoping that there is a throttle cable or TPS adjustment to correct the issue.
It's really no biggie, as I don't get any pre-ignition when shutting down the engine at the higher rpm. It just shuts off.
Idle doesn't hunt, fluctuate or have an out of control very high idle when stopped. If it stops at 1000-1100 rpm's, it stays there, if it stops at 800-900 rpm's it also stays there. That's why leaning towards a minor adjustment rather than a dreaded vacuum leak.....lol"

I also used my Harbor freight digital camera today to look under the plenum in various spots. and everything is looking good, and no hoses came loose...

Roadster · 02-13-2017

All done, and ready to fire up.....

cleaned the primary butterfly inside and out, and this is how much carbon was in there.....hoping this will solve the minor idle issue...

cleaned the air duct with q-tips and a rag, was also cruddy...

from inside one of the hoses that attaches to the airhorn...

Roadster · 02-13-2017

getting back together...

I may be the only two-tone plenum/airhorn assembly in ZR-1 land...lol

I like the color of the paint, will likely do everything the same shade, but that is for sometime down the road...

When stopping at the elevated idle. Will it go away with a quick rap of the throttle?
