I'm helping a buddy with his -7A and we are to the point of installing the alternator. It is the 60 amp from Van's in their FWF kit. After installing it on the mounting bracket and putting the starting ring gear/prop/spinner on, we noticed the pulley on the starter ring gear and the pulley on the alternator are out of alignment about 1/4".
There is no way to adjust this as the alternator mounting bracket is mounted to the engine thru 4 bolt holes that were already in the engine.
His engine is an ECI Titan I0-360 parallel valve.
I have a Superior XP-360 on mine and the pulleys aligned perfectly with the same set up.
Is there a different mounting bracket for the ECI which has the mounting holes in the bracket shifted about 1/4" aft? Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks!
