Thanks Scott.  The mounting ears on my alternator are 180 degrees from one
another.  Yours (from the NAPA online literature) appears to be more like
120 degrees apart. Correct?

| Bosch #  AL123X
|
| Beck-Arnly # 186-0345
|
| The Beck-Arnly is NAPA's rebuilder.
|
| This was a slide in replacement of the Nippon -Denso.
|
| The case is very heavy duty, should stand up to the pounding of the io360
4cyl lyc.
