I've been working on my install the last few nights. This is in conjunction with a major cooling system overhaul, so it's been easier to install.

Everything has gone together pretty well. The bracket is just awesome as mentioned before. I just can't get over the quality of the bracket. The 150 amp alternator a perfect fit. Once I finally figured out how to get the wires out of the old plug they went right into the new plug for a nice factory fit.

The only problem I'm having right now is belt fitment. Stock belts just aren't happening. I see that someone has gotten away with about 1/2" longer than stock, so I'm going to try that. I almost think a 1" longer belt will be required, but I'm not sure how much adjustment is available with the new alternator.
