Ron Francis / Denso alternator hookup

Those alternators are great! Small, cheap and powerful enough for the older cars. I have one from a Suzuki Swift thats low mounted, 65 amps. about 2X what the original 35A was worth. Only bad thing is they all seem to not be V-belt.

I think mine came off a 4 door car. Like a Geo or Nova variant. It had a V-groove pulley.

It’s 2 3/4” diameter OD.
My water pump pulley is 6 1/2”
My pulley centers are 9 1/2” apart.

On heavy acceleration, it squeals. Pulley alignment is spot on. Wonder if the ratio isn’t right
