I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section. But I just ordered an HO Alt from JS Alternators and it arrived yesterday. Everything looks exactly like my stick alt except it's missing the 3rd mounting arm (side mount) that comes off the rear casing. He assures me it'll be fine just mounting with the 2 front mounting tabs. Does anyone know it this true? Or am I gonna run into problems down the road?

With the 2 on the front, I don't see why you'd have a problem.

How's that alternator working for you? Was it just plug and play or did you change wiring? Thx

Plug and play. And so far so good

Did you go with the 240 or 300 amp?

 

[MarkB81]

I did the 240a this time because I didn't wanna sacrifice output at idle.

Thanks a ton, did you have to use a shorter belt, if so, do you remember which one?

 

[MarkB81]

Yes. You want one that's roughly 0.5"-1" shorter than stock. I believe Dayco 5060845 was one. I went with a more complicated option because I'm a freak and love to stress myself out. But check Daycos website and look up our belt. Then look up the model number I gave you. It's should be in the ballpark you wanna be in.
