This is the alternator setup that you need. You also need the plastic ducting for the engine compartment and the ductwork down to your heat exchangers. If you run the van with out the airflow through the heat exchangers the aluminum heat sinks inside the exchangers melt off and ruin the heat exchanger. You also need the rubber boot to connect the alternator intake to the fresh air duct, else you breathe dirty air and possibly carbon monoxide from your exhaust. I've got some of the parts you need, but I'm not sure what all you're missing. http://williamwareagency.com/forsale/stanvan/parts.htm Stan Wilder 83 Air Cooled Westfalia On Tue, 12 Feb 2002 21:06:57 -0500 Tim & Kim Dayton <5days@PRODIGY.NET> writes: > I recently, 4 days ago, bought an 1882 Westy with a 1978 engine in > it.
