Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses an external regulator before ordering. Confirm the 2-groove V-belt pulley, clockwise rotation, and 7:00 clock position match the original unit. Some fitments note that a 2V pulley is required for proper alternator installation, and several applications specify vehicles with air conditioning or standard equipment only. Review the exact year, make, model, and notes for your vehicle before installation.
