I used the arm from a GM product when I mounted mine, figure if it was a GM alternator then a GM bracket should work . It had a large curve to it that wrapped around the alternator so I didn't need an extension. I just went to the local speed shop and looked through their catalogs 'till I found one that looked like it could work.

Maybe one of our resident metal workers could fab up a new arm that takes care of this issue. Should be cheap to do... Doesn't need to be anything fancy.

This thread needs to be saved in the tech section!

Whiplash,

Now that you have the alt. mounted, running, etc., do you think the 144 would clear everything?

Just wondering.

Thanks

I think the 144 housing would fit. The issue would be with the bottom bracket, maybe not on a 440, but a new bracket or a different on would be needed for the 383. Why do you need a 140a alternator anyway?

I know the problem would still exist with the bottom bracket, just wondering about the case.


Do you have any way to see how many amps you are getting at idle?

Do you have your headlights on relays or not?

Just wondering.
