I learned tonight the hard way that when replacing a head you should install
the alternator before reinstalling the intake pipes!  After about two hours,
and with the help of my daughter, who has smaller hands than I, we managed
to get that *(%&$* lower bolt into place and secured.  After tensioning the
belt, I began making the electrical connections.  At this point, I realized
that the little green wire that runs from the alternator to a plug mounted
on the back of the power steering pump had broken off.  Rats!  Can anyone
tell me what this little beauty does and where it attaches to the
alternator?  I'm afraid I'll have to dismount it once again to effect
repairs.  :o(  I checked the Bentley, but didn't find it of much help.

Thanks in advance.
