Now I not only don't have time to disassemble the motors, I no longer have the physical capability.
At first I suspected I had broken my right wrist, but X-Rays today confirmed that it is "only" a hyper-extension or partial tear of one of the ligaments.

Awkward and bad timing to say the least. I still have so much work to do on Anne's car, replace the valve cover gasket on Shanine's Duke, and yesterday the alternator on my 85 gave up, so the GT is setting at my office for right now.

How did you injure your wrist?  Now, you must keep it immobilized to let it heal.  Check your paperwork on the 85.  There may be a receipt in there for an alternator that's still under warranty.

Where's the office.  During the day, we should be able to get it all the way home on a fully charged battery.  We brought one from Asheville all the way to the Georgia line without an alternator.

There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Don tried to replace door pins and I assume that's where he hurt himself. The alternator it self is not the problem but putting it in, same applies for Shanine's valve cover gasket and God know what needs to be done at my car.

Didn't want to highjack this thread
Alternator will be taken care of. Lee Arnett is going mobile tomorrow and will swap it with a new one tomorrow in my parking lot at work in Norcross.
Everything else is obviously on hold for right now, when I didn't have enough time for all of the work to begin with.

Charlie, let me know if you'll swing by to get the motors, so I can lay them out in the garage for you. If you do, please remember the climate control unit and shift cover please. If not, bring them on Saturday also.

To get back on track, I'll stop by and remove the limiter switch from one of them for the OVERHAULIN' project at Whodeanie's and drop off the parts you need.  I'll call Anne first.
