Note how much larger the AD244 is than the CS130.

Set your AD244 alternator into the mounting bracket and install, but do not tighten, the outer bolt. Note how much material will need to be removed from the alternator mounting bracket. Flip your alternator out of the path of any cuttings and remove just enough material elongating the original alternator hole to be able to install your new bolt through the AD-244 mounting hole. Note: You could use a smaller diameter bolt and not remove any material. Your choice.

Install the AD244 alternator with both bolts through the mounting bracket. The inner bolt is a 3/8" UNC x 3-1/2" long hex head capscrew. The original bolt was buttonhead for clearance of the drive belt, but I have not had any interference problems.

A local parts house built the output wire extension. It is about 6" long and is 4 gauge. I attached it to the original output wire with a nut, bolt and star washer, then heat shrinked it and wrapped with wire loom. Note the alternator was removed for clarity.

The original brace running from the intake manifold to the back of the inner mounting bracket is too long because the flange on the AD244 is much thicker than the CS130 alternator. I fabricated a new brace using 1/2" diameter cold roll mild steel. The ends were heated with an oxy-acetylene torch and then flattened in a hydraulic press.
