Me again. I read on a truck site, that one can remove the bolts on a GM alternator and swivel the whole face of it to diff holes to put the adjuster strap in diff position. Zat right? I always thought these things had pins to align or something? What you think. May make qite a diff on mounting my alt on an R.

GL, It is possible to remove the bolts holding the Delco alternator together and rotate the parts, all that does is put the hot wire and the field connections in the most appropriate place for the vehicle you're working on, the mounting (front plate), stays the same. IF you're going to do that, rotate the body, make sure you put in a pin to hold the brushes in position, in case you pull the thing tooooo o far apart.

If you look at your GM alternator (10si) closely, you'll see that the top and bottom lugs are on the same casting. They don't move.
What those guys were doing was rotating the back cover. This is handy when the hot lug would work better 90 or 180 degrees from its present position.
If you do this, use a piece of wire or a round toothpick to hold the brushes in their holder when you reassemble the unit. There's a handy hole in the back cover where you can pull the wire out after its re-installed.
