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)

Actually that pic is from Desert Hybrids websight. I have about 1" of slot left using DH's balancer, mount and belt.
I'm still nervous about the pivot bolt only being supported at the mount end though. I fully expect to sling the belt the 1st time I hit 6K... Mike T |
