    What's up family???

    Im putting my alternator back in right now (water cooled) and just wondering about tightening the Alternator screws... should i feel ot get "snug" or just kinda get them "sorta tight" when i was tightening then it felt kinda funny... i don't wanna strip the threads out...

    Anybody have this problem???

    Thanks

    I'm sure there's a torque spec on them. They should be tight, just not overdone.
