^^^ This. It's the school of hard knocks but now your baby is under your control, and you're in charge.

Can you guys see the misalignment?View attachment 262628
From the pwr steering to the alternator.
I wonder if it's because of the ear the bolt goes through.View attachment 262629
Maybe grind it down flush with the alt case--to bring the whole thing closer to the front of the alt bracket, so it lines up with the pwr steering pulley. Maybe some thick washers behind the back end of the bolt that holds it to the bracket--to help move the alt forward.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

What's this ground wire jammed under the bolt head shit with no eyelet connector?

X2. Wow.

yeah what the hell is that bare wire?

if he changed a caliper it might have been off for days and he let it al drain from the master. not know what this dick head did, id start with bleeding the master. i put a wrench on the line nuts off the master, crack em free, snug em back up, then have some one pump the brakes and hold em, then you wrap a rag around the wrench and line nut and crack it open, if theres air you will hear it spit out. do that like 3 times per line. then bleed the calipers.

I didn't have time to mess with it today unfortunately.

That was me. I didn't have any of the proper connectors at the time. Been so long I don't even remember what it was for now.

I'll have to do that. Just gotta pick up brake fluid and some of that ****** universal antifreeze now.
I'm hoping I can start to mess with it tomorrow. All of the sudden I have to run around doing a bunch of bull$hit now.
At least it's home now!

I don't think I'd be super worried about the antifreeze it must be better than the water we Floridians run.

I just want to top it off. Next few nights it's supposed to drop below freezing.

I get that but since its already cheap stuff I'd probably top it off with water or the cheapest crap you can find that won't freeze

If I drank I'd piss in it--you know, high alcohol content won't freeze
