Wondering if your post was meant for a different thread

Whoa... ??

I saw this thread yesterday and the DR posted a picture of the alternator adjustment. Now it's magically turned into a different picture.

IIRC, you adjust that belt by shifting the position of the alternator itself. Loosen the upper alternator mount bolt (pivot-point). Then below the alternator you loosen a nut/bolt to allow it to move, & tighten a long bolt which jacks the alternator outwards away from the engine. Then tighten em up again to lock it in place.
