I just installed the alternator on my conversion and was forced to space out the mounting bracket 1/2" to get the pulleys to line up. I'm using the Desert Hybrids balancer and mount which look similar to old RSH design. I've looked at plenty of pics and can't tell if anyone else used spacers. If the pulley on the alternator stuck out 1/2" more it would work. The alternator I'm using is from a 1984 Chevy truck w/V8 engine.
Is there a specific unit that I should be using? Mike T Attached image(s) |

Yes, the spacer is in place and balancer fully seated. The surface the mount bolts to is clean and true and the mount itself looks correctly made. The pullys are now aligned as close as I can measure. Not sure why I need to use shims but if the design had any chance of working at all the spacers/shims shouldn't have any effect on it.
I still haven't heard from Desert Hyrids on the matter but he always answers my emails. Thank you for the assist. Mike T |
