:help:Having a little trouble figuring how the stock alternator cover fits onto the back of the later Bosch alts on a non-A/C car.
Does the hose nipple for the cooling duct/hose from the right scoop point straight up 12 o'clock, or does it point toward the rear of the car more or less at 3 o'clock?
There's a depression in the green oversleeve that fits over the power wire and the exciter wire that would only match up to the grommet on the cover if the cover is in the 3 o'clock position, but for some reason that just does not look right.
Looked in the FSM and could not find a clear pic of this, and I did not take a pic of this before I took it apart.
BTW, it took three different belts (#1 Goodyear off-brand, #2 Dayco, #3 Gates 7325) but I did find a belt (Gates 7325) that fits onto the alt-wp-crank without having to walk it on. Had to unbolt the alt lower pivot to get that extra scoush of clearance, but it does fit and after adjustment there is still about an inch of travel left on the adjustment arm.
