I should hope not! Hahaha Even my 82 is a piece of cake compaired to this. In that car the alt is right up front on the top. The water pump is back in the corner but those are small (boy is it small) so it doesnt matter as much. None of the Cophers have the alt either and they want $100 to rebuild it.. so ill have to try my luck and get an Autozone one.. just the thought of an autozone alternator scares me. Hopefully it wont die right away and cause me to change it again!
