Made it to Mesa Pick-A-Part today. Got the fan shroud, which I see doesn't fit (too narrow). I did score the power steering pump and bracket, then noticed the water pump pulley was different, so I grabbed that too; it has an extra groove on it for the power steering belt.

I decided to get the charcoal canister, as it has two nipples instead of the truck's three, and I don't want any yahoos at emission giving me [email]cr@p[/email] for having one capped off because they don't know any better. Also decided to get the brake booster hose, since they have a check valve in them to allow the booster to hold vacuum after the engine is shut off and after it builds vacuum while driving even when the engine isn't developing vac, like full throttle. Got the heater hoses, since I noticed Rock Auto doesn't have them (funky shapes).

And I decided to get an alternator out of a '99 Galant. From not-so-close checking, the bolt pattern lines up, but the plug on the back is different, as in it has four wires instead of the Monty/Mighty Max's two. I did get the plug and a few inches of wire, so hopefully I can figure it out. The Galant had a sweet looking 16 valve four cylinder in it with a n-i-c-e looking factory header. I guess that's a VR4?

Now cleaning up parts and trying to get the new head studs in.

Oh yeah, I ordered a timing belt set, water pump, o-ring and gasket, thermostat and gaskets this morning as well.

I love parts.
