Brian,
I think I might have found your problem. You said you could not get it in the mount with the belts attached. That is the top stock mount I take it? After reading your problem I went and installed a 150 amp with new belts and found that the bushing in the stock mount has to be tapped flush or beyond for the alternator to tip in. In other words the stock opening has to be as wide as possible. My bushing was sticking in a hair and would dig into the alternator preventing it from sliding in to the stock mount. I just tapped it out a little further and the alternator dropped right in with the new belts. Mine does not have the belt idler so I don’t know if that makes a difference or not. Maybe after you tap the bushing out further check for a burr on the front of the alternator mount and hit it a file just in case.
It should work with the stock belts. Once I got the alternator in the top stock mount the new OEM belts were loose and definitely needed tensioned.
Bill
