Sparky altenator???
Hey ummmm, i just bought a reman altenator from advanced parts.... and today when i started it, i popped the hood to see the belt shavings flying around everywhere, ( this is a very old problem) and i freaked out when i saw sparkes shooting out.... like they were huge, it was like a sparkeler was in my engine bay....
 what is going on

Re: Sparky altenator???
Sounds like the shavings were getting charged and causing the sparks. Where exactly were the sparks coming form?

Re: Sparky altenator???
The sparks are coming off the side closest to the manifold, not the pulley side...

Re: Sparky altenator???
So then it's not the alternator. Don't know. Take a pic of it doing it

Re: Sparky altenator???
no no no it is coming off the altenator, but not from the pulley side, near all those plugs and such

Re: Sparky altenator???
Well,, this morning when i was starting the car... it didn't screech at all, and no sparks... but it screeched when i turned on my headlights... But when i was leaving school today, ( i had finals so it was short day) it screeched like a mofo.... i didn't have the hood open so i didn't see the sparks if there were any... another side note.... Are V belts the best way to go for the auto altenator? and 91 and 92 altenators are the same right?
