[Tigers] Pulley Line-up

[Rense, Mark (GE, Appl & Light)]

Guys, the issue is Robert bought one of the Powermaster PowerGEN alternators
that are supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the existing generator. I
have installed two of these without an issue but that was at least four years
ago since the last and the design may have changed.

Robert, I suggest you look at modifying your pulley position on the
alternator, not messing with your bracket. Powermaster has other pulleys
available or ask them they may have another option.

Chip is correct Reisentz Restorations, Sunbeam Specialties and CAT have an
Alternator bracket.  The only alternative is to design your own and
fabricate one.   I used plywood, it took about 3 iteration to position the
alternator to my satisfaction.  I then fabricate the bracket out of steel and
welded it together.

	The problem is when you are not using Stock style parts; the position of
everything must be checked.  Different parts can have slightly different
offsets or the mounting posts are in a slightly different position.  These
tolerances can add up against you or they can work in your favor.  The point
is to check them.

	I like to use the laser pointer on my infrared thermometer.  I line it up in
the bottom of the generator or alternator pulley groove then rotate it
carefully to point at the water pump groove or the crank pulley.  A laser with
a pulley groove profile mount would be even better.
