    Single wire Alternator Nut What size??

    I have a 1974 Jim Dandy that came with a single wire AC Delco Alternator on it. In replacing the tranny the nut has vanished. I've tried both Metric and SAE nuts that I had in my shop with no luck. It seems to be a really odd size. I believe it is the same type use on Chevy Camaros Vegas Novas...
