Hmm, that's some neat stuff they sent you. They should let you ship it all back for free or just keep it.


It's not expensive stuff. I think it would cost as much for return shipping as it would to just let me keep it. I hope they tell me marry Christmas because I need the alternator lol. I did find the shopping list and it was supposed to go to some custom shop in Cali. I bet that guy is pissed that now he's going to be at least a week behind.

It's not that big of a company. It came from skip white, not summit. I'm sure they get some kind of deal, but they are either going to have to credit me shipping back to my credit card, or mail me a shipping label. I don't care either way. It's not my stuff so I can't be mad if they ask for it back, but I'm not going to pay for shipping out of my pocket.

:( they want to send fed ex to pick up the extra parts. I wish they would let me keep the alternator. I don't care that it's chrome, I just think mines on its last leg.

So the sales guy at skip white says "Please set the box back outside so fed ex can come get it." I said, "don't I need a return shipping label?" He said Nope, they will just pick it up.

Fed ex shows up today and says what the heck am I supposed to do with this box? I can't take it without a return shipping label. Idiots.

Now, this is a 120v alternator. I know it's for a chevy, I just don't know what year and whatnot. Surely this thing will bolt on and go right?

Good deal. Maybe I will stick it on this evening. Not sure that I want to mess with swapping the pulleys right now until I get this damn thing back on the road. Anywho, anybody need a set of copper manifold gaskets for a bbc?
