It's an 84 I recently purchased.  The alternator rattled and it had been
rubbing the water crossover tube long enough to cause it to begin to leak.
I went in to tighten the bolts and repair the pipe but the two bolt holes in
the block which hold on the alternator bracket are stripped - either over
tightened or because the bolts rattled around a little too long.  Anyone
else have this problem, and if so, what did you do to remedy it?  Those
holes couldn't be more than a half inch deep.

Thanks!
