WI side mount alternator kit question.

Dan, could you post some pics of the kit mounted on an engine? I'd like to see how high up the side of the block it places the alternator (and I'm just curious to see how it looks mounted). Thanks!

I've installed the kit just recently. I'll post pics by next weekend when I get my alternator back.
I can say that it's a great kit. Very solid set-up. Absolutely no worries about deflection or stress fractures.

This kit works with the FD? Can you use it without the airpump? How does the belt run? I'm not sure I see how the water pump would work...

I just purchased the pully kit over the weekend...My only concern is the pulley...Do have to run the pulley belt that comes in the kit, or can i use the stock pulley thats on my alternator and motor right now? If i can't where can i purchase the main pulley and alternator pulley to go along side the pulley kit i just bought

Teddy there is a V-belt in the kit that will work just fine..


Eggie this kit will not work ig you are using the air pump and you will loose the AC and power steering with this kit too..
also the belt will be going around the Water pump to the ALT..

Dan, I still don't see how this works on the FD. Won't the water pump turn backwards?
