Re: Mounting Autoloite Generator

Thanks for comments guys.
I read some other posts and I suspect what I have is a job done long ago where a longer belt was used and the original adjustment arm replaced to make for additional lenght and bent for the missing spacer.
To further compound the problem the pulley center has been rounded out and is no longer pressed on the shaft. To mount the pump I had to bolt up the fan , pulley and water pump as one unit and slide it in place then start the bolts. That was a chalenge .
The pump, pulley, fan aside I am still am puzzled about the gap between the generator mounting bracket and the ears of the case. I pulled a stock autolite case that I have and measured it against the one I have. They are identical in lenght with exception of a circular indention in the ears of the non stock generator about the thickness of one 3/4 inch washer.
I suspect that I still have the incorrect mounting plate. Mine measures 5 3/4 long. Does anyone have to compare that lenght to?
