This kit contains the mounting brackets, spacers and bolts necessary to adapt a lightweight alternator from Powermaster (model number 8102) to any LA series small block Chrysler motor using the 1970 or newer style water pump. This kit contains two aluminum spacers, as well as upper and lower mounting brackets and three mounting bolts. This kit works with any pulley set that has the deep water pump pulley (2951836). 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 #7445 will work with stock size pulleys. Gates #7445 is 25/64 x 45 1/8 long.

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

The Powermaster alternator has an internal regulator so you must remove the stock voltage regulator from operation and run a 12 volt ignition switched supply wire directly to the alternator. For best results, follow the wiring instructions that are included with the Powermaster alternator. More information, if needed, can be found at www.powermastermotorsports.com.
