Oh well.....I tried mounting the alt. on pass. side head and still have problems. After much work lowering the radiator(Griffin) mount for hose clearance on alt. the belt won't line up on crank pully.  It lines up with the PS slot..can't win...Back to my seach for a manual bax....... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Troy, To use the alt kit on the pass side you have to shorten the spacer due to the location of the pass head relative to the face of the block. It sits further forward than the drivers side. Other than that it should get you where you need to be.

It appeared that alt. was all ready to close to head to do that. I'll try again when I am not pressed for time....have race tomorrow night... I think I have a manual steering box I can use to..

CSI gets my vote also. Four years running but not a whole lot of street. I used spacers behind alternator brackets to the block. I'm also running a underdrive pully though.

I used the CSI for several years without a problem. Then I switched to a motor plate that mounts between the waterpump and the timing cover and the CSI wasn't going to work in my opinion due to the small hole for the impeller in the motor plate. I switched to the Meziere and have run it for two years without any problems. I believe both pumps would work fine in an application without a motor plate that mounts between the water pump and the timing cover.

Troy, my alternator is about an 1/8" away from my head but I use the factory rubber boot to insulate it from touching without any problems. I have spares if you need one.

Still not sure if there is enough room even if I shorten spacers..Power steering got to go !!

CSI from BOP-E, and I recently took the car on a 500+ mile cruise. Highest temp I saw was 194.

Hey 60Man, I know what your talking about. I really got lit up a couple years back shorting out the alternator. It melted my wristwatch band clean in half. Both pieces melted in to the skin and clung there. I had to pull both pieces out of the skin. Just another battle scare these injuns put you through...

Band was welded to the stud on the alternator..Kill swicth helps a lot if I can remember to "kill" it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
