    The MSD case appears to be 5.25" diameter by about 4.6" long, not including the output stud on the back or the pulley on the front.....if you need closer measurement, we can put a caliper on it.

    I am not aware of any smaller diameter alternators unless you go to some ricer sized stuff....maybe an alternator shop might know.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    How big around is yours, Bob? How long is it?

    I've heard that the oriental ones are smaller.

    Bob, You must have misunderstood my alternator questions.....I wouldnt have
    tried to mislead you...would I?

    There may be small motorcycle or industrial alternators also.

    Okay, I found the guy who sells these with the bracket. He pitches it as for use with electric pump, but if you've got V belt pulleys it lines up fine for a mechanical pump.

    He also does a serpentine belt arrangement in another listing.
