[urq] Quick Alternator question...

John, two things... I believe the mounting bracket is different, and I
but I seem to remeber that you could make it work. The bigger issue is
that the UrQ alternator has a closed face pulley to protect the
alternator from road spray. The 5000 one is open faced, and may allow
more moisture and crud to enter the windings. Just a thought. That
could be swapped though. There may also be an issue with the pulley
offset. I know that when I converted my '83 to a left-hand alternator
mounting using the 2Bennett kit that mounts under the AC compressor I
had to sway a few pulley before I found the right offset.
