funny story... my nova came with an autolite alternator. i got broke down because my hot wire fell off the back. so, i tried to put it back onto the terminal using a nut. whoops! damn post is METRIC! LOL! so i used twistie ties off of a loaf of bread (groceries) to put the thingy back on the post. at first my engine wouldn't start because the battery was weak. my dumb butt tried spinning the alternator for a while, haha! i eventually asked someone for a jump. i got two nylock nuts there now
