I ran one of the Denso alternators on the hot rod. It required different brackets and pulleys. I compared the Denso alternator with an old square back today. The pulleys don't quite line up. I would have to cut down the alternator bracket that bolts to the cylinder head then see what other changes would be required.

The Imperial has a smog pump, A/C, power steering, and water pump to run off the crank pulley. I have axed the smog pump but it still required a different crank pulley.

I am not going to have the time to fiddle around making brackets. Between now and the Power Tour I have exactly one free day to play with the car.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
