hello my wise and wonderful friends i really could do with some help.

 

My new cabby is fitted with a orion si 130 zetec engine its all running etc but the alternator isnt fitted thus battery isnt charging but importantly my water pump isnt being driven.

 

it came with a CVH and a zetec alternator which one should i use??

also i have no idea how or where to mount it

or what belt will fit.

 

theres a few of you with zetec conversions so im sure someone can help me. please

 

any help would be very much appreciated.

 

thanks

i have mine mounted at the bottom where it normally is but you do need a smaller belt i have the zetec alternator and i'll look tomorrow and find you the belt size i use or you can place it into place then tie a piece of string around all 3 pullys and then measure the lengh of string and this will give you your belt size. you might also need to alter your wiring theres still only 2 connections but with different fitments on.

 

i also just use the 3 pullys (crankshaft/waterpump and alternator)
