Hey guys,
I've got a Holden V8 (VR Commodore block, late model alloy heads) that came with these bits:
- An MSD Dynaforce P/N: '5321' alternator which is described as being a "GM CS130" case. Link here: https://www.ebay.com...0UAAOSws9ZezzWd
- An Aeroflow "Mid Mount" Alternator Bracket which I don't plan on using, but I guess the alternator was bought to match? https://www.ebay.com...LAAAOSwbopZUZ9C
- A long VN type Water Pump
- A Romac balancer
So I'm seeking some advice to install this into my hatchback Torana.
I should say that I simply want to use the standard V8 Torana alternator bracket.
- Can anyone show me where the curved adjuster arm for the alternator attaches at the motor end? Not sure if it's part of the water pump, or onto the timing cover (but that won't work easily on mine due to the billet timing cover)
- Should I expect this aftermarket MSD alternator to be like-for-like with the standard alternator bracket geometry? Like pulley positioning etc.
- Do I need to swap the water pump for an early one like a Torana came with (rather than a 90's Commodore)?
- What pulleys do I need to source for the water pump and crank pulley? I just want some simple, black, alloy single V belt items.
Appreciate the help. Never stuffed around with this stuff.
