So My car threw a alternator belt lastnite

and no-one around to save me, had to walk home to get tools and spare belt/S --I have never changed one on a 617 before and though I only needed 13 mm.
Miles of walking, I had to get back so it would not get towed ,,
I get back and realize finally how the Power steering pump is "rigged" --Stupidest design I have ever seen---Next to the way the alternator is mounted--I got the cali aircleaner on mine so I had to get the air tube out of the way to see I needed a 17mm, well by that time it was 7.30 AM So more walking to a lowes for a wrench, And still the damn thig fought me EVERY WHICH WAY IT COULD-- all the bolts loose and it wouldnT budge, Had to get some 2x2's from a construction site to slip up between the right frame rail and the alternator and managed to get a big wrench in there and pry it in, The stupidest way of mounting they could have done.

I miss driving/ repairing my 67-8 camaros BAD
