last visit: Mon Nov 16 18:27 CST 2009[RELATED]Hi folks,
Fixed the problem. Was able to fab a bracket similar to the one the dealer had on his parts fiche but still ran into where to mount to the block. Removed the belts from the pulley to let the alt. hang free from the lower bolt and noticed a newly discovered (!!) bolt hole behind the ear of the alternator. The 8mm bolt indicated by the dealer worked great. Now just need to return the too-short belts so I can finish mounting it. Thanks for all the help.

Failing all of that, maybe you can save some time and grief by transplanting in a four cylinder out of a wrecked car. In truth, it may be faster!

last visit: Mon Nov 16 18:27 CST 2009[RELATED]Thanks for the reply. An exploded diagram would be great. Can't find one in the Haynes or Chilton's (I know, but came with the car) manuals. I also looked at the cleanflametrap.com site. Plenty of diagrams for the four-bangers, nothing for the V-6. Don't have that much time or money into the car, has been going together fairly well once I got the parts I was looking for (i.e., new injectors, hoses, belts, vacuum lines, water pump, air/oil/fuel filters, thermostat).
Got the car for a song: $100 purchase price on a car with 72k on the odometer, garaged it's whole life, maintained by the dealer with excellent records most of it's life, it's a beauty. Just need to put it all back together and I'm coming up empty of ideas on the mounting of the alternator. Checked with the dealer, has diagram for the mounting hardware (not on the motor) but the bolt and adjustment arm (in stock) are different than that pictured. Mounting bolt (from dealer) also doesn't fit any of the available holes for mounting. Even had the parts guy come to my house to look things over. He's puzzled too. Nothing in the p/p yard with the PRV (V-6) motor. Is there such a thing as a 9mm bolt? An 8mm is too small and a 10 mm is too big. Tried both fine and coarse thread pitches. Do I need bushings for the mounting bracket? At least I could order those.
What's entailed in the conversion to a I4 motor? Do I also need a new tranny (I have the automatic)? Best options? Do the motor mounts swap right in also?

Also the Peugeot 604. It can be a sweet motor if the cams and rockers aren't worn out--now don't everybody laugh at once. You should be able, I think, to utilze a BW 55 from a 240 ('76-'80) by changing out the bellhousing. -- Dave
