If it is the switch, don't be fooled by the one that sells for about $20.00, it will not fit flush like the original, for a few dollars more you can get one that fits OEM.

Re: Heater core with air conditioning

Re: 1966 loose alternator belt

The long alternator bolt with spacer, can become stripped, though it will tighten to a point not as exactly as it should, this could be a problem you are having, with the loosening.

Re: Crank bolt torque tightening
