Sounds like the Power British conversion - it uses the Delco 10SI alternator
which is fairly common. I use it in my conversion:

If that looks like the kit, then it's a:
Gates TR24379 Replaces (308) Green Stripe II
I love the conversion, but I find that the belt keeps slipping no
matter how tight I make it - eventually it stretches enough and
my battery ends up dead. I think I might be putting too much of a
load on it for that belt (big stereo amplifier added to system :)
Always been an aggravation - I suppose I should find some of that
belt non-stick spray.
