Good Evening Everyone,
I've got the perkins diesel from 1983. I believe the alternator is a 1G large case, but I cannot find positive confirmation on a part no. the mounting style is 12 and 6 with a distance of 8.3" between the bolts. Most alternators that claim to fit are 6.8" and the two I have ordered and sent back are too small as well. The vacuum pump tensions off of the alternator and I don't thing an adapter bracket would work very well. Ideally I would install a 1 wire alt, but anything is helpful at this point as I had to sawzall the old one out of its rusty grip.
