Charlie,

I have been trying to fit the rx7 alternator and the Toyota waterpump into
my installation with frustration.  I took the alternator to  Advance
Autoparts and placed it next to a Denso replacement.  The replacment was
about 1" smaller in diameter which may be the difference between fitting an
alternator or fitting a lycoming.  Just kidding.  I wish there was a way to
see if it fits without spendin $125.00 just to find out that it dose not
fit.  Thanks for the info.
