Yes that is a garden hoe and a can of bush baked beans being used to tighten the alternator. Tough job made easy for a solo act.

So many uses for beans and hoes.

good idea.... ill be doing that on the mera this weekend.

I know the MSD coil and distributor don't have any performance value, but you have to admit they look really good!

LOL, that's a good one. I usually have to leverage from the bottom though. Probably a dumb question, but how are you doing that from the top?

Just enough space between the alt. and the water pump to wedge in the hoe handle. Then gently push the handle forward and wedge the can between handle and trunk. Put towel there so you don't cut the rubber trunk seal. The can puts enough tension on the alt. belt till you can climb back under car with the 13mm socket and tighten the lower alt. mount. Don't forget to snug the upper mount bolt before removing baked beans. Wal-lah….dinner time
