Yep, I say alternator bolt. Here is what you have with the alternator.

(3) 15mm bolts in front. Only (2) of these bolts hold the alternator, the third holds the bracket to the block by itself. But once all three are installed they all thread into the block. On the back side of the alternator at the top there is a single 13mm bolt. Then of coarse you have the plug connected to the red exciter wire & the black ground wire which attaches with a nut & (2) little washer things on a little stud made into the alternator.

Feel the top backside of your alternator & if you dont feel a bolt head thats approx. 13mm thats where your bolt is missing from.
