PS-153 ALTERNATOR for OEM POWER STEERING (pump on generator) on 1955-59 CHEVROLET CARS &TRUCKS PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE NEW ALTERNATOR UNIT. V8 engine shown. Procedure is the same for all engines. Correct lower brackets are available for all engine applications. Disconnect the NEGATIVE cable from the battery. Leave the positive cable connected. Drain the power steering pump. The easiest way is to remove the hoses from the valve on the linkage and drain into a pan. After draining the pump at the valve, remove the power steering hoses from the pump. Use a rag as shown to catch any residual fluid. Remove the pump from the generator. Remove all the wires from the generator. Do not cut wires. Lay wires aside. Loosen adjusting brace hardware and remove belt. Remove lower mounting hardware and remove generator. Leave bracket on exhaust manifold. Verify the existing bracket length, it should be about 6-5/8" measured from outside to outside of the mounting ears. Correct generator brackets are available for all engines. Install new alternator onto bracket using hardware provided. The short bolt is for the front frame, the long bolt is for the rear frame. Install washers under the bolt heads and under the nuts, see next step too. Install a washer between the rear frame and the bracket to achieve a good fit. Snug the hardware just enough to still allow the alternator to pivot. Do not overtighten. Install belt and adjusting brace with hardware provided. Tighten brace, tension belt as per shop manual. Attach existing double brown wire to alternator terminal marked “DASH LAMP”. Insulate ends of remaining generator wires. Remove brown wire and blue wire at voltage regulator. Cut wires and insulate ends, or leave uncut and insulate terminal ends. Leave black wire and red wire on regulator. ©2017 AUTHENTIC AUTOMOTIVE PAGE 1
