Default Re: What in Tarnation?

So the weekend is now officially over... I got quite a bit done though it doesn't show much of anything in these photos. I'm still dealing with my primary work hauler being down in the middle of a huge job, but a guy has to keep his projects on the front burner. This alternator mount for a gm one wire was completely from scratch as the one on it was cast iron and for some kind of unknown alternator. I dug up an extra 'one wire' alt, but it has the wide v pulley on it like we use on a slingshot bracket with ford type belts. The one wire alts usually come with the narrow pulley that I need right now, but can I find one in this cluster****? I'll get one at napa tomorrow if I'm in town. Every thread tapped into this engine block is metric,,,??? I saw that one guy on some 4wd site said onan/cummins had them produced in Japan? Edit: and that oil filter attachment was a cast aluminum 3 bolt affair, but it was afoul with the ford motor mount so I cut the casting in half on my wood bandsaw, then tapped the passages I exposed with a pipe tap and bought the remote setup. I tapped the base of the old stock filter with fittings for 3/8 hose but the new remote housing is tapped for 1/2" pipe. Is that 3/8 hose gonna carry enough oil for this 210 cu in 'beast'. ?
