did mines on the block the first time and then when i went with a different manifold i had to do it on the pan

Hey Rico, what did you end up doing for the alternator? Did you have one welded or buy one from a 2.4/2.2?? If it was welded then make sure it was done properly because if not then the pulley could have started to free spin and that would cause your batteries not to charge ofc. I guess I would just check your voltage when the car is running and if its 14+ then the alternator is def working.
