Alternator's
Just out of curiosity,
What decides which side the motor a alternator goes on? I have never remember seeing this before. If I did I have forgotten the reason. Someone please jar my memory! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Alternator's
My '69 w/AC and PS has the alternator on the driver's side. AC compressor is on the passenger side. I have a 350.
