I don't know if anyone can look this info up in ETKA or not, but I need to know if the two bolts that hold the alternator on at the top are the same. The best way to describe the location is if you are looking at the bracket from the top of the motor they are on the flat face about an inch down and hold the top of the bracket to the block. Somehow both of mine backed out and I'm missing the bolt closest to the front of the motor and while I'm waiting for a tow truck to tow me home from Philly I'm trying to find out what size the bolt is because I need my car to get back to Philly in the morning. Any help is appreciated.

Its not terribly clear...go figure...but appears to imply that 3 M10x37 bolts hold the bracket to the block.

Thank you sir, so I assume that means that all the bolts are the same then. Once I finally get home I'll have to try and see if the bolt that was still there works or if it broke and then try to locate another bolt.

My alt bolts loosened up more than once. I've shredded two belts now as a result... So far this time I got them good and tight. I'll probably replace them b4 winter... I just don't trust them. And yeah, IIRC they are the same.
