Alternator hook up on B280 700 1988

Hey Jesse -

The rubber bushings, on a 240 anyway, are inside the mounting "ears" on the afternator. The long bolt on which the alternator pivots when adjusting the belt tension goes through the bushings, usually called accessory bushings.

On a 240 the same accessory bushings are used on the power steering pump mount and the a/c compressor mounts.

They are hard to see on the alternator, look at the other uses.

Some alternators have a terminal for the ground connection wire some don't, I have seen both ways. Often the alternator end of the wire is connected under one of the alternator frame bolt nuts. The other end is often connected by being caught under one of the bolts holding the alterbator mount onto the block.

I don't know how the B280 alternator mounts, or where. It must be grounded to work.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Bob
