PowerMaster alt install problem
this is just a heads up if anyone else try's to mix the same parts as me. i did a quick look and didn't see anything here. swapping out my clutch fan for a contour fans and went with a powermaster 7569. i have March pulleys, and ordered this one as it already had a ribbed pulley installed. hang it on the brackets and there's 3/8" alignment issue. didn't notice at first, but the front ear is a little thicker than a stock one, and the pulley has a different spacing than the March one. great :rolleyes:... i could have swapped the pulley and ground down the spacer tube, but i didn't really feel like dissembling my new alternator, and ending up needing the warranty.
i ended up making some spacers to move the new alternator forward so the front ear lines up with the bracket instead of behind it. also made a slightly longer adjustment rod.
haven't run it yet, need to do the wiring tomorrow. once i'm sure this is going to work i'll take it apart and make it look a little better.
