Advanced Radiator, West Burlington IA. Decades of great service.

On related challenges to us all, starter alternator shops are rare today. My go to is Harvey Brothers, Galesburg IL.

Walked in with a Motorola made in France that was on a French built John Deere diesel. They walked me out to a 71 year old, one glance he knows it, identifies the post I needed for my two wire connection, throws it on ancient 1950s tester and it passes. I'm in and out 2 minutes tops. Not a single shop or internet could help me, I had wasted hours. Owners are likewise upper 70s or 80s. Remind me of the core in this hobby. "you can pry (My Pontiac) from my C.D. F."
