Hmmm...I did it an easier way. I got a 105 AMP alternator from a chevy cavalier and I used the original adjustment arm. Only modifications needed was to sut a small amount off the alternator mount that attaches to the engine and install a new plug onto the harness. Alternator is the same size as the alternator.
