<p>ahhh.... wrong alternator!</p>
<p>There are a bunch of Bosch and GM units that have two ears (not
one wide one) and the top/bottom positions are not at 6 and 12
o'clock, rather 12 and 8 or 12 and 4</p>
<p>a couple examples...... (granted a Midget, a MGB and a GT6) <a

<br>
</a>seems to be the type of info you're using <br>
</p>
<p>what you need is something along the lines of<br>

<p>This Bosch style even uses the Lucas alternator plug for the
wiring harness</p>
<p>you can also get GM CS130 units with this 'side ear' style mounts
that fit beautifully. There is a guy on EBay as well that swaps
out the serpentine belt and mounts correct v belt pulleys</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I started the dry fit of the alternator in
place of the generator on the ‘3a. It seems like others it is
large and a tight fit but before tackling that I cannot for
the life of me figure how the mounting is supposed to go. If
I try to line up the pulley it means I would have to grind off
part of the housing ( see photo and marker line ).

<p class="MsoNormal">What did others have to do that to get the
GM alternator to fit?
