Brief Description:  Install Starter, Alternator, and Throttle Body

1642 - 1742

Install alternator, starter, and throttle body.

Most time spent was deciding how to clock the throttle body. It cannot be clocked with the linkage on the left due to interference between the sump and the intake air temp sensors. It could be clocked to position the linkage on the right side, however, the Reiff pad heater is located on the right side of the sump thus reducing clearance between the cable mounting bracket and the sump which makes the throttle cable a tight fit. The only other position is with the linkage on the bottom. I will need to fabricate a new bracket to secure the throttle cable but this positon yields clearance for all sensors and linkages.

The throttle body adpater can also be clocked in any position. I opted to position the manifold press ports on the left side so as not to interfere with any othe sensor or linkage.

The throttle body was then installed using 5/16 - 18 bolts modified to 2 1/8" long. A very thin layer of Ultra Red RTV was used on mating surfaces.
