Threw in a new alternator the other day and changed pads up front... lifetime brake pads sure are nice, cost was $1.57 for the grease lol now the alternator wasn't as painless on the wallet

Really? 3 bolts and the belt. 20 minutes to take it out, 20 to put it in. I've had to change mine 3 times in a year. Auto parts store Alts are junk.

I think he is referring to the price being well above $1.57 but I'm probably wrong.

I meant price wise... brakes were $1.57 alternator was quite a bit more lol

Yeah it took no time at all to swap them out, was happy it was so easy but my 74 is only 2 bolts
