mjtjnj Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hey guys- on the 87 2.5, is there any adjustment for the alternator? Everything I've read said you adjust the belt tension by the PS pump. I never had any problems with this until I rebuilt my 2.5. In putting everything back together out of the car, I noticed that the alternator and bracket would only fit on one way, even though the bracket is slotted, as if you could slide it back and forth. After that, the belt was always too tight. I mean, I can get it on there, but I have to get the lip over the PS pump and turn the engine. And the PS pump is adjusted all the way in. I've loosened all the alt. bracket bolts and can't get any movement out of it to help me out; I guess I could buy a little longer belt, but I'm confused...any help out there? Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjtjnj Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone? It's got to be the alternator, I just don't know how to move it around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 There isn't adjustment on the alternator. The only adjustment on the serp is the PS pump. Are you sure you have the routing correctly? edit : my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjtjnj Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 There ISN'T an adjustment on the alternator? I figured it must move, since the bracket is slotted. Pretty sure I'm putting it on right, I'm going to review the diagram to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
