Hi gang & thanks for all the input!

Brought the whole toolbox out and then only needed a 3/8'ths breaker
bar, 15, 13 & 8 mm sockets.

As somebody who's never held GM's mass produced cars in high regard I
must say this was an easier job that expected. 22 minutes start to
finish. And that belt tensioner design is pretty cool.

The car started under its own power. We drove it in interstate traffic
for twenty minutes and the battery was a 11.8 engine off and 12.4 engine
on. Voltage went up to 12.8 when the engine was rev'd. On the charger it
took 10 amps for 20 minutes and then was at 12.6 with the engine off.

Thanks again,
e
