<VV> Alternater mounting bolts

[Jim Becker]

Hard to reach, stuck or rusty bolts are part and parcel to working on old 
cars or any other old machines.  You just need to have and use whatever 
tools are required to deal with it.  If you decide you are an artist (or 
even an interior decorator), don't complain about the smell of paint.  If 
you have trouble finding the right tool and can't stand the smell of water 
colors, I suggest stamp collecting.

Delcotron generator?  Even if it is a Kleenex, it is still a paper tissue.

Correct.  I have had to use different sockets in order to find one that
fit in the available space, and I have found that the available space
can differ from car to car.

But I have not encountered the frustration expressed by the OP.  It can
be tricky, but there are plenty of other jobs on the Corvair that are
more frustrating.

By the way, the late Bill Ableson, perhaps channeling Mark Corbin,
insisted that "alternator" was incorrect, and that "Delcotron Generator"
was the only correct designation when found on GM vehicles...
