There's three bolts holding the alternator in place and one adjusting bolt. I have the top bolt. I have one of the bottom bolts (the longer of the two) and I need the other one. Anyone know the specs on the bolt I am missing. Hopefully Home Depot has it. Thanks

Here's a repost of mine from a different thread:

There are two bolts that hold the alternator in. The bottom is a regular bolt, the top is an oddball setup that you'll have to get from the junkyard/dealer if that's what you need. I had a buddy lose his so I 've got a pic of the top bolt and adjuster bolt. The adjuster is the long black bolt, the head faces the firewall. The silver bolt goes through the bracket behind the alternator and then through the alternator's top tab, and the nut goes on the front of it. Basically, it goes exactly like in the picture, as viewed from the passenger side looking down from the top.

So there's three bolts total, the pivot bolt on the bottom, and the two on top that form the adjuster. Exactly which one did you need?

Hmm, you must've been posting your pic while I was typing up my reply. Anyway, while there's two holes down there in your pic, only one is used for the alternator. I'm not sure which one, I haven't messed with the alternator in a while, and I've never removed that bolt either, so I'm not sure of the size. Maybe tomorrow I'll pull mine out and check what size it is, if I get a chance.
