I can see that they don't believe in manditory drug testing.

I certainly sounds like "reasonable cause"

Try contacting Alternator and Starter Co. Inc. here in Wichita, KS. 316-265-8990. You will need to speak with a Guy named Nenad. He's done all kinds of alts, generators, and starters for me including some one off stuff. He's a great guy to deal with and he can probably do it for a very reasonable price. Just tell him Aaron with the Jaguar refered you. I know I know it's not a Buick he knows mw for, but have you ever dealt with Lucas electronics? He built me a custom 105 amp GM style alt that connected right to my 66 E-type wiring harness without any modifications to it and only charged me $90.00. He's rebuilt numerous Buick 6 and 12 volts itmes for me and his work is above reproach

Your 55 special could not be too much different from my 57 roadmaster, I have a 364 motor and am thinking I would like to change to an alternator. Did you use new brackets? Did you have and retain your gas pedal start? What kind and size of an alternator did you install?
Thanks for any info you can give me.
