Re: anyone ever put a gm alternator on a yota?

When I installed my Link Ark welder on my 80 yota back in 96, I used a 10dn/12si combo. It had a 100 amp output.

Since the yoda alternator is a saddle mount and the GM style is a post mount, I had to hand ground the front face of the lower bracket untill the GM pulley lined up and then by useing a modified a/c pump to front of cylinder head bracket, I installed it from the front of the alternator to the lower 8mm timing cover bolt.
I also recall having to lengthen the top adjustor bracket and use a longer belt.

I located the power source for the voltage regulator and wired it to the supplied voltage regulator.

It worked great for many years.
