Pan, you are spot on with the numbers. I got my alternator from Torodyne. His web site is Torodyne his name is Jason. Tell him what you have and he can set it up with a pulley installed. They are great guys over there. But, I just checked Spidermarine, and they have him beat on the price. Guess...

OK, just checked my voltage at the batteries at idle....27.5 consistent, gauge reads right at the top of the green. Looks good to me...problem solved, the electrical gremlin is gone. Thanx for the help guys.

Thanx Pan, it worked out pretty good. I just used the original design as a starting point and basically made the pivot point farther from the block to allow the mount on the alternator to clear everything. The alternator is pretty close to the fuel filter housing bracket, but it's not a big deal...

OK, maybe they will go up this time.

Pictures as promised Pictures as promised. It wasn't too bad getting it in place, but, I probably should have moved the fuel filter housing out of the way since I have big hands and could have used a little more room. I used standard Dayco 47" belts. But, all done and charging at 27.8 volts...

Yeah, I tried to modify the original.....didn't work out so well. The holes for the pivot point wouldn't allow the "ears" of the pivot point on the new alt to clear the bracket. So on to plan B, I got a couple pieces of flat stock and bent 90 degree angles on them to make the pivot, will weld...

That is exactly what I did, but, being as anal as I am, I wasn't content with that. Flipping the switch off works great and saved the batteries from being burnt toast. I picked up the new alternator, so, tonight I will modify the existing bracket and do the install tomorrow.

No luck with adjusting, if anything it got worse. After taking note of it's original position I turned it back and forth a couple of times, then set it back to where I started and slowly turned it up and down. It started out at 34.2 volts and only moved a volt in either direction. Even though...

I haven't tried adjusting it, but, it is worth a shot when I get up today.

It has the "newer" style generator with an internal regulator. Everything has been replaced in the starting/charging system. My first suspect was the cables as they were loose in the crimp on ends. But, new cables, terminals and batteries didn't help. It just seems funny that it seems to be OK...

My 71 M35 started overcharging the other night. I hadn't noticed the gauge, but sure did hear the belts screaming, after turning the power off and on a couple of times all was OK. I had the batteries load tested, one was good and the other marginal. I then had then generator spin tested at...
