Larry,

I was going to put in a brush pack, but the alternator for the 4.5 has a solid back. I'm assuming it is because mine is actually a '72 registered as a '73 and there was a change in alt design. Let me tell you finding where those MB engineers hid the regulator was tough.

The summer weather here isn't too bad...it changes daily. One day mid 90's with high humidity (yesterday) to barely reaching 70 with a nice north wind (today). Expected lows tonight will dip to nearly 40, low enough that I will turn off the ceiling fans before racking out.
