New daily driver
Whoa, full stop! I recall that the Dak went to a serpentine setup because the V-belt accessories would not FIT the very-crowded engine compartment!
Anyway: you WANT to keep the serpentine setup...it is vastly superior. (My 95 had its original water pump and belt-yes, the 19-year-old original serpentine belt-until January!) The Magnum water pump is much better (more flow & less cavitation), the later alternator is more powerful & probably more durable. (Any old-school alternator is 30+ years old now.)
GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!
the dak passed emissions testing today and is licensed. being a 91 this is the last time it will have to go thru the smog test. full steam ahead now. going to be junk yard hunting this weekend for LA front accessories. am going to run the LA timing cover with LA water pump and V-belts. going to run an old school alternator with external voltage regulator. have been doing my home work and looks like the ECM can come out and most of the engine bay wire harness. will being running old school starter relay and voltage reg. got my intake in the mail today too.
