I just bought one of those generic chrome swing arms from Advance auto parts for the lower adjustment, and got a longer belt.

I think an alternator like this would have more clearance on the back: http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/oem50amprbae.htmlCan I get a "round back" from a local parts store or are they just going to give me another "square back" type alternator? Scamp 408, you run the early style water pump, what does the back of your alternator look like?

i just got a round back alt for my cuda from oreillys. the thing is, ts hit or miss. they may sell them both under the same part number.
Have them send in 3 and take a look at what you get or if you are buddies with the parts guy, maybe he can put in a request at the warehouseto send a roundd back and they can hand pick it for you

Mancini lists the round back as the same from 64-74 when there are actually two styles a single wire (69 & earlier)that uses a pulsed 12v signal to control the output & a two wire (70 & later) that uses a 12v input then a pulsed ground...
If you look up the PowerMasters alternator on Summits web site you can down load the instructions and this is what they say:
"Note that the Powermaster alternator is a double field unit that will work with both double field and single field type external regulators. If your vehicle has two small field wires, they should be connected to the FLD terminals on the back of the alternator. These wires are interchangeable, so either wire can be connected to either FLD terminal. If your vehicle has one small field wire, connect it to either FLD terminal on the alternator. Then, using a short 16 AWG or larger jumper wire, ground the remaining FLD terminal. Some models have a ground stud on the back alternator case; this or any other bare metal grounding point will be sufficient."
