I have a 235 engine on my 1957 Chevy.
I am unable to find the mounting bolts for under the generator. Can someone tell me if the 2 bolts mounting the generator are of special strength? Looks like according to the manualv(RPO 329 SHEET 3.00) the original had a nut with a cotter key. Would the end of the bolt have a hole as well for the key? Thanks for any help!

I think nylock nuts would do the same thing. If you just tighten them then the generator can't swing on the hinge. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 | Hi Truck,
Good thought. The nylock would work great. I will give it a shot.

I have my 235 with rear bearing seal all buttoned up. The "millions" of S 10 / T 5 transmissions ( 82-92). Took months to find . The suggested replacement 14 spline clutch for a 1983 firebird may fit the T5 but the pressure plate does not fit the flywheel bolt pattern. Where am I going wrong here ? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | WisApache,
you are going wrong by asking your question in this thread.
