Buy Jerry's.... You'll waste time/money everywhere else. If you send your original in, keep the original pulley. Jerry's comes with a smaller pulley, if you spend a lot of time near the rev-limiter it could lead to Alternator SIDS.

I pull the upper plenum and the alt can be done in 45-mins. Good time to wire the secondaries open as well :)

Easier just to pull the air horn.

I have twice now replaced alternator. I removed throttle body. Did not have to remove oil sender or tensioner. First time I had unit "rebuilt" last November. Replaced it with one of Jerry's on MR6 two days ago. Thank you Jim Voter! However I believe the easiest would be to lift plenum. As long as you have gaskets.

Re: Alternator
 

Ah, yes. Throttle body remove would make it so you wouldn't have to remove the oil sender. Probably makes it easier to access behind the alternator for (+) terminal too. Many ways to skin this one ;)

We did it in 2 hours in parking lot with just the minimum of correct tools.
