Had a hard time today trying to take the grommet off to measure the hole. Looks like ill have to remove the valve cover and cut the top off of the grommet, then pull it through the hole.... hopefully i can find a replacement...

Went up to parts store today, the only grommet with a baffle they had was too big. Looks like ill have to order it online somewhere and I will need the exact hole size. It doesn't seem like that is a common part to order.

Alternator that I picked up was supposed to be 'an exact fit' and wasn't.. The shaft is not long enough to put a spacer on to line it up with the other pulleys. I asked if they stocked any double groove pulleys, I got a confused look and a "whats the year make and model".. Im going to go pick my old one up tomorrow and rebuilt it i suppose.

Carb went back together smoothly. I got one of the 1" filters for the carb (carquest part number in pics was like 1$) and a spring from the hardware store. It seemed like the spring was too strong and it actually crushed the filter preventing any gas flow and caused gas to leak out around the fuel inlet. I removed that filter and will test it tomorrow to see if it still leaks.
