Quick question, I've been having battery charging issues with my 1995 Trans Am, and noticed that while I had my Alternator out to be tested, I noticed the rear bracket was extremely loose and the bolt that holds it is spinning free in the intake.
If this bolt opening is exposed will it cause an intake leak? I truthfully don't know what is under this bolt and I'm assuming it goes into the block underneath the intake, I just hope its not a critical opening, which I can't imagine it being since their is no gasket.
Heres a pic for reference:
Also secondary questions, I had the Alternator tested at a local parts store and they said it tested fine, but could a misaligned or loose alt cause power surges under load?
