Post subject:  alternator belt hitting lower radiator hose
I put in a griffen radiator into my 63 valiant to make room put an electric fan in front, custom made my lower radiator hose but now my belt hits the lower hose. I can move my belt to the front grove on the crank pully and build out the water pump pully, But, How can I move my alternator out to match can I buy another pulley to take it out another 3/4 inch please help??? :?

Some Mopar alterntors have two pulleys. maybe they all do, I don;t know. Is yours one or two? If only one, then maybe you can get the extra you need with the dual pulley unit. I would think the dual pulley one is for the AC set up.

The "high output" alternators have 2 grooves all 59 amps worth.

Post subject:  I had the same problem
I have a 72 Satellite, Yes I Know its a B-body. At one time some one replaced the original slant for a re manufactured slant. Shortly after buying the car I noticed that my belt was hitting the hose when revved up.
I tried tightening the belt to no avail. I bought a NOS replacement hose that was shaped slightly different then the one that was on it. This and careful hose placement solved my problem
