Bought an '85 280 GE in dire straits and slowly nursing the poor girl back to health. First order of business is replacing all the wrong belts and the alternator tensioner which looks like someone took a hammer to the adjuster gear/bolt and the tensioner attachment. Alternator is out (only took me 2 days) but I CANNOT get the stupid bolt holding the tensioner to come out. nut has been removed, but it is just not moving. Am I missing something? Is there some trick or is the dang thing just that stuck. I have the replacement ready to go in . . . talk about frustrating.
Also, anyone know where to get a fuel tank skid plate? Mine is swiss cheese at this point.
