Re: New alt. installed

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My experience has been the alternator doesn't care what field is grounded
just ground one.  Altho I have read and been told you should check each
field for continuity and ground the one that shows no voltage.  Maybe I got
lucky on all the alternators I have installed over the years!  You know if
you hold your tongue right it works every time!!

I got the '85 Chrysler Fifth Avenue alternator and installed it today.
It's pretty snug but it works. There was a tag saying max amps 91. That
should be very sufficient for me! The pulley is almost 1/4" smaller in
diameter. I couldn't use a bigger pulley either as it physically touches
the square corner of the head and won't allow it to go inward any
further. I'm thinking of grinding a bit off the corner of the head and
maybe some on the alternator too if there's enough meat in that area.
That'll give me some more room to move it for  proper tension. I had to
pry the old belt on as it was.
 
It's the dual field type so I grounded the fld closest to the ground on
the alt and used the other fld connection. As I reacall it didn't matter
which fld was grounded but one needed to be. Unless the extra rpm's on
the alternator is a problem I'll leave the smaller pulley on it. I don't
go over 6200rpms. At least not on purpose.
 
Thanks for the tip about this alternator.
