Ok I was installing alternator, passengerside, installed machine bolt through bracket into waterpump housing {I guess} it snapped were bolt goes into...I tightened to much and cracked, can I weld, is this part aluminum or cast iron...any help will be appreciated

The big long bolt on the bottom of the passenger side alternator goes into the cylinder head. Figure 34 of the -34P shows this.

How far into the head is it?

If it is near the surface, put a nut over it and weld the broken bolt to the inside of the nut. Careful where you hook up your ground lead. Let the weld cool and then use a wrench to screw the broken part out.
