So just getting my rear end in, and went to install the driveshaft to the yoke and the old bolts dont feel right, this is a MC 7.5 of unknown year did they change bolt size mid years in the yoke???

Mechanical temp guage rigging

Its not pretty but it works and lets me run my fan switch trigger without a unreliable probe.

so just getting the wiring sorted out, and was curious if someone could help me out with my Alt. there are 2x 12v lines going from the starter to the alternator. one is the charging wire, and the other goes to the harness the plugged into the old Alt. do i need that 12v wire? and what hooks to the brown and grey wires at the LS alt.

thanks!!!!!!!

I wish I had but I'll likely be checking out what you did for my swap in a few months.
