Toyota Alternator to Early Small Block Kit

This kit contains the mounting brackets, spacers and bolts necessary to adapt a lightweight alternator from a Toyota 4Runner (1985 to 1991 with L4 engine) to any LA block Chrysler motor using the 1969 or older water pump. The kit contains three aluminum spacers, as well as the upper and lower mounting brackets and three mounting bolts. This kit works with any pulley set that has the shallow water pump pulley (3751126) shown in the picture. The lower pulley should be either the single groove (3614375) or the double groove (3614378) if you have power steering. A fan belt such as Gates #7460 will work with stock size pulleys.

Mount the kit with the alternator hanging from one 5.25-inch bolt. The 5.50-inch bolt goes through the two alternator brackets and into the water pump housing. The remaining 5.25-inch bolt goes through the upper hole of the alternator bracket and into the water pump housing. The long spacer mounts behind the alternator. The medium length spacer goes on the upper water pump hole. The lower adjuster strap fits on top of the alternator bracket, not beneath it.

The Toyota alternator that fits this application can be purchased as Bosch remanufactured part number AL218X. This number cross references over to Denso 210-0106 and 210-0107 as well as original Toyota number 27060-35060 and 27060-35061.

The Toyota alternator is internally regulated so you must remove the external voltage regulator. Run an ignition switched 12 volt source directly to the terminal marked IG on the back of the alternator. The terminal marked sense on the alternator should be wired to the 12 volt post on the starter relay, or any other location where system voltage can be properly referenced. There is an excellent discussion on remote sensing at www.madelectrical.com if you need any further information. The third terminal is for an indicator lamp and is usually not used on a Mopar.
