    naw, its the alt bracket locations

    the npi has different locations for the alt brack to bolt too, i think the electrical is just the screw on thing right?

    Brackets are different, the bracket mounting spots on the alt is in a different location too. :( I can make mine work but i just don't like the fact that the bracket is drilled on and stuff, ya know.

    When I did my pi swap I left the bracket off and haven't had one on there since. It's been about 10,000 miles and no probs yet. I have the blower on it too. I just make sure the bolts are really tight.

    when i put on the aluminum ccrossover NPI intake manifold, i was suppose to use a PI aternator bracket...but i just used the NPI one and drilled a couple holes, works perfectly.
