It’s a 3.9l EFi with a serpentine belt running around the water pump, fan, power steering and alternator, so the steering going very heavy was the give away. I turned around and immediately found the belt on the trail, in unmarked condition. Refitted it a couple of times and it leapt straight off again on turning over.

It appears the alternator pulley has broken, it is very wobbly but the retaining bolt neither comes off or tightens. I’ll take the whole assembly off and take to a shop, but I wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

Here we go…

Probably a bit close to the alternator housing, but I pushing it back with my fingers.

It appears to move around, without moving the windings. Out of interest, what does the cone with the green tube at the bottom of the picture do? Tube goes to the inlet manifold.

The cone is part of the vacuum assy of the distributor ignition system, don't know what the green tube is though ...

I’ll take a decent picture, but it does go from a tab on the other side of that one you have marked to the inlet manifold, yes. Just to add to the fun, I’m running a RPi Engineering ignition system (and a big K&N). I am in the process of adding more heatshrink to everywhere to safeguard wires!
