I've got a 65 Series IIA swb, which was previously converted to a Delco alternator (which was on its last legs when I bought the truck). I'' replacing it with the Proline 75 amp alternator, RoversNorth mounting bracket and the matching wiring harness, but am having some fitment issues on the install.
After installing the mounting bracket and the bottom bolt on the alternator, I've run into 3 issues:
1. The top adjustable bracket can't be tilted into the correct position to line up with the top bolt. Do I need a new bracket?
2. To get the belt somewhat tight, I have to tilt the alternator so far out to the drivers side, it hits a part of the frame. Is that normal?
3. Even tilted all the way out, the belt seems quite loose. For this conversion do people normally keep the same belt, or is there a different smaller belt recommended?
Thanks!
