Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley groove count, rotation direction, plug clock position, and mounting-ear orientation before installation. This alternator uses a rear-view main mounting ear at 6 o'clock and a plug clock position of 10, so connector alignment should be checked against the original unit. Confirm belt routing and serpentine-belt compatibility before final assembly.
