Just found this forum.

I have a 1976 campmobile.

The freaking alternator locked up on me.  I bought a reman alternator from Autozone.  The freaking air inlet is round not rectangle.  Anyway, I never know the alternator was aircooled, how important is it for me to connect it up.

Its probably as important as it was for me to replace the starter bushing in my bug when I replaced the starter years ago, the new starter lasted 2 days.  I learned the hard way on that one.

I am also bummed about how hard it was to remove the old alternator.

Yup, it'll cook pretty quick without a cooling air supply.  Make it fit, that's what  I would do.  I remember sitting on the side of the Alaska Highway, shaving a 'square peg' to fit it into a 'round hole'.  Had the wrong condenser in the spare box, the one with the square grommetty thing at the spade terminal, but had a round hole in my dizzy. 

Anybody got any ideas?

 It's very important for the cooling air to be hooked up...... If you can't take it back and get the correct one i'd probably get some old radiator hose that's large enough to make an adaptation and some hose clamps......... I'm sure something could be worked out......

You bought the high output alternator, the correct cooling boot is hard to find.

 I bet he'd have no problem selling that one here or the Samba ...............then he could get the one he needs to get on the road..............
