Were you able to do it with stock brackets or modified stock brackets? Anyone know if there is a 2-groove v-belt pulley that will swap on?

I flipped mine to move BATT stud away from head so I did not have to grind the stud down. (which seems needed on some apps) got this off a van that still used external VR, crimped on eyeloops for field wires and trimed plastic off BATT wire so just the eyeloop was left to go into the shield on alt. late 80s early 90s van and on the tbi 88-91 trucks 8400174-minialt#3.jpg (373 downloads) Last edited by scratchnfotraction; 01/18/15 01:26 PM.

Did you end up running the belt in the front or rear groove? Thanks to everyone for all the info! Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full.

Guess I'll just have to try and grab one at the local bone yard and try and mock it up. Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

Used a long ass lower timing cover bolt and a slant alternator bracket with a litte trimmming. I centered and welded the lower pulley off the metro to a damper bolt washer (both sides) and torqued it on, it aint moving. 12 Grand Caravan 06 T&C 02 T&C 96 Breeze 65 Barracuda "S"

IIRC. you may be able to find an alt shop/rebuilder local that can swap the pully out for a v-groove. I have a local rebuilder that has everything to rebuild the mini alt/starters for 65$

I want to stick with the stock external voltage regulator, and I'm hoping for minimal mods to the existing brackets, pulleys, etc. Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full.

I run them on both of my cars...neither charges at idle, but they work fine for everything else. I used the chrome one that Summit sells...can't remember the name... ...FAFO...

How does it compare to the late 60's, early 70's mopar factory alternator? the small one on my 88 truck is about 1/2 the weight. the one in the pic off 440 is a 120 amp denso and is the same or a little less best guess. PM me I have some on the shelf I will scale for you
