6) You will use a 4PK795 Belt (4 Rib, 795mm long)
 
   
Be sure you have all these parts in your kit
1) 2 Long Bolts M10 40mm (bottom of plate)
2) 2 Medium Bolts M10 30mm (top of plate)
3) 1 Small Bolt  M8 30mm (radius arm to alternator)
4) 1 Very Small Bolt M8 25mm (radius arm to plate)
5) 1 Washer (between radius arm and alternator)
6) Radius adjustment arm
7) Radiator Mount
8) Block off Plate


 

 
Step 1)
Remove the bolts and belts that will obstruct you from removing the water pump assembly
Step 2)
Remove the old water pump assembly
Step 3)
This is what it should look like with everything removed
Step 4)
Clean off the old RTV sealant so that you are working with a clean surface.  This step is important as it will prep the surface for the plate and make sure it will not leak
Step 5)
Take the O ring off the stock pump assembly
Step 6)
Put the O ring in the block off plate. Make sure it's clean and free of debris.  A small amount of RTV sealant in the O ring groove will help hold the O ring in place for assembly.
Step 7)
Put some new RTV sealant around the water sealing surface.
Step 8)
Install the new plate.   The
2 medium bolts M10-30mm go in the top holes.  About 40ft/lbs of torque is enough.
Step 9)
Put the supplied alternator bracket over the lower bolt location and use the longest bolts M10-40mm in the bottom holes.  Again about 40ft/lbs of torque on these.
Step 10)
Install the lower fitting first, be sure to use some sealant.  This hole is threaded 3/4 pipe.
Step 11)
Now install the upper fitting.  Make sure to use an AN style fitting in the upper location.  This is a -8 AN, thread size 3/4-16 SAE. (not to be confused with 3/4 pipe or NPT)
Step 12)
Pics of the fittings installed
Step 13)
Use your OE lower B or D stock alternator bolt and nut with the square end to mount the bottom of your B or D series alternator.
Step 14)
You should be left with two bolts and a spacer. Use the shorter of the two bolts, M8-25mm, put the radius arm inside the groove and put the screw into the upper hole in the block off plate.  Tighten it up just hand tight 12-14ft/lbs.
Step 15)
Take the last screw put it through the radius arm, put the washer on to space it away from the alternator so the radius arm doesn't hit the alternator while your adjusting it.  Tighten it into the alternator,  12-14 ft/lbs.
Step 16)
Turn the radius arm to draw the alternator towards or away from the motor.  Towards for now to get the belt on.
Step 17)
Get your belt you bought for this application and put it on then turn it so the alternator goes away from the motor tightening up the belt (4PK795).  You don't need too much tension on the belt, that will make it squeal.  Tighten up your lower alternator bolt once the belt is tensioned properly to 30 ft/lbs just the same as the top bolt.
Step 18)
Here is how it should look once your done (with rad lines of course to your electric water pump)
Step 19)
A closer view.  There is lots of clearance between the alternator and water lines, so no problem there.
