I met the head of production at Powermaster and we hit it off well. He practically gave me a custom, black case with chrome pulley and fan, 140 amp. race prepped alternator.
As the pictures show, I went with a different case configuration that, with the shorter bracket arm, looks better, is more rigid and is more readily available should I ever be in a bind for one.

Actually, this all happened by chance. The man expected nothing in return. I needed a new alternator and figured why not go directly to the source since they are in the neighborhood. Let's see, south Fla. vendors? Suntan lotion? How about the Cuban mafia. They probably dispense something.

The power steering res. has to be moved to get the lower pivot bolt out, a pain. I drilled the threads out on the right side of the bracket and used a longer bolt with nut to secure the alternator, inserted from the right. Next time it will be easier.

Good idea on that bolt, Joe, that thing is a major PIA!

I couldn't resist the temptation to polish some aluminum.
