Some PO or mechanic of my "new" beast welded a small rack on the slot
in the alternator adjusting strap.  It mates with a hex-headed pinion
that rotates on the clamping bolt.  Turns tensioning the alternator
belt into something your six-year-old could do without breaking a
sweat.  No idea what it engine/vehicle came from originally, but it's
sweet.  Nice welding job, too.


I'm not as fond of some of the *other* things that were done to the
engine wiring.  Likely not the same fella.
