Question I have is how far from the block should the alternator sit. I used a Gates TR 20426 belt 5/8" wide x 43" long. After adjusting the belt tension the body of the alternator sits about 1/2 inch from the block and 1 1/2 inches form the exhaust manifold. Is this too close? Do I need a longer belt? Maybe a 45" long belt?
