Alternator IN, withOUT moving a THING - not the upper rear alt mount bracket, plenum, anything.

Trick is to insert the alt lower mounting flange into the WP recess FIRST. Then you'll have to spin the impellor to give just a little marginal clearance of the impellor to the OTS.

Then just a little coaxing to get the last alt housing edge under the plenum.

Then put the pivoting bracket into place, Bat+ Output nut on, rear bracket bolt, and you're done.

Time to do a little editing in 'Solutions' there Mr C!!! Vids of removal, and of re-install are uploading to Y/T now.

First one ever to document Alternator removal with plenum in place???

So everything zipped up, pulled the trigger, and she fired up 2nd try. Closed Loop, idle rock steady - AGAIN. And after shutdown, no smoke, sparks, inferNO.

Restrictor gasket is still installed for DataMaster logging. Secondary butterflies just let in a little more air in, which isn't a big deal, but it's IRREGULAR flow, not continuous 100% steady amount. Restrictor gasket will allow for more minute, steady calculations in DM. THEN we can look at what's getting in there...
