I still need to get a new alternator and now have the monety to get one off of Chris but i cant help but wonder why wont a d series alternator work on a b series? differant outputs. wiring shouldnt be that hard. any answers?

 

no wiring diff...they just dont swap over from my experience...******* dont fit...

 

damn but maybe worth the try.

 

your going to have to get creative with mounting it and modify the belt adjustment bracket to get a belt to work



i

 

Some alts have 3 rib belts. Some have 4. Some might have more. Using a pulley from one on another might throw allignment with the crankshaft off. Try it and find out, then post it for all!

 

There is a write up somewhere o the net on how to do it. It was writtenback in like 98 when b parts were gold. Now, well screw it buy an alternator from me and spend the extra 4 hours of headache getting the d one to work by banging your GF and drinking malt liqour.

 

---- doesnt fit. i did it once by moving the top mount back with some washers and cutting it a little so the belt can be tight enough.


it worked but i'd rather get one that fits nicely if i had a choice.

------- your gf > ------- around with your alternator mounts.

 

My friend had a bad B one and good D one so just swapped the D on in less than an hour I believe. PM loserkidwac, he should be able to tell you how he did it.

 

I remember that ----. It was some janky stuff, but that is the way it had to be if you wanted to keep it all cheap.
