you sure you have the right belts on your car teknics?
being a ASE certified or whatever you should know belts come in
different widths as well as lengths, maybe you dont have the right
widths on your car?
you would think the master mechanics would have questioned why
they arent in the grooves of the pulleys?
and I dont see the big deal about the FD alternators either, why pay for
a used alternator, then have to make it fit, when you can take your FC
alternator to a local rebuilder and have them upgrade it for you. Hell, they will even give you a warranty with it.

the flat side is contoured to the shape of the grooves in the pullies, seriously if it wasnt freezing out id go take pics. perhaps later when the sun comes out.

13b ace I got the same responce. When I said it was an import alt they where like Npe I dont touch that.
Fitting the alt is cake. only thing needed is a bolt w/ nut for the tensioner thats it. Same bottom bolt which is eaiser to put in the fd alt cause the nut stays on the inside of the alt compared to the fc alt which you have to put on from the out side. and you even use the stock belts no gueesin belt sizes or nothing. simplest and most cost effective electrical mod available.
