By using the Bob Melville's 12-Volt Conversion
Instructions (posted under Articles) I successfully completed the project using
a Delco 10SI (1978 Buick) Alternator.
I fabricated the bracket by flip-flopping
the OEM Generator Bracket which set it forward
about 1"; opened the bolt holes to 3/8". To
set the Alternator in-line with the drive pulley
you have to place the alternator in front of
the OEM bracket. I used a 9" X 3/8" bolt; threaded all the way
down to last 2" from end. By using the pulley
that came with the alternator, the OEM generator
belt nearly fit, however, it was a tad short.
A NAPA 9345; 31/64" X 34-7/8" did the trick.
I fabricated an ajusting arm using a 3/4" strap
iron with a 2" forward offset and a slotted
adjusting arm end from a junk car. The final
belt tightening was only 1/4" or so...as everything fits up just right and you have
very little room to play with...nothing touches
the hood....all fits with adequate clearance.
See photos...
Thanks, Bob, for your detailed instructions!
