So I just bought my first "complete" 240. 89 hatch 5 speed sohc for 400 bucks. Minus exhaust from manifold back. Also the alternator was removed but came with the car, and no bolts. Looked everywhere for em. I've searched the internet and called 3 different part stores, and cannot get the exact measurements on em. It's just the 2 bolts, and the only thing i found was they are 14mm. Anyone have the exact measurements on em? I could fit some other bolts in but it would take a drill, and i don't wanna do that. Help! Please!

Alright so the alternator is no longer a problem. My new problem is when i fire it up, it won't stay running unless i give it gas. But when i give it gas, it revs up to about 2 grand and dies. Anyone?

I second a vaccuum leak, a small tear in one line did that to me...so simple but I was still mad!
