## What is wrong

THE GENERATOR "BAT" TERMINAL LOCATED ON THE RECTIFIER     END FRAME MAY CONTACT THE CARBURETOR FUEL INLET PIPE.                                                                                                             CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE "BAT" STUD MAY RUB THROUGH THE TERMINAL BOOT AND      CONTACT THE FUEL PIPE WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE AND CAUSE BURN     INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANT.


## The remedy

OBTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN FUEL PIPE AND GENERATOR "BAT"        TERMINAL BY ROTATING THE RECTIFIER END FRAME.


## Notes

SYSTEM: ELECTRICAL/GENERATOR. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS WITH 2.8L ENGINES AND 108 AMP GENERATORS.
