okay im not sure if this is the right section for something like this but i cant post anywhere else related...
Ive read a lot about the saturn alternator install for the eclipse but couldnt find one thing about how to install one on a "2g 420a specific".
So i went ahead and mocked up one that i put in my car.i got this one for my car here: 91-97 SC/SL Series 1.9L
There are 2 issues when mounting it:
1)you need a little piece of metal wide enough for the tensioner bolt to go through and long enough to reach the tensioner and the mounting hole on the alternator(see pic 1)
2)you will need a spacer for the mounting bolt on the bottom of the alternator.
.
.
I used the same belt size listed for use with an AFX UDP.
As far as the wiring goes i didnt have to wire anything to the alternator.if you get one from the site i listed you will only need to connect 1 wire to the battery and that is all..as for the stock saturn alternators i do not know how the wire harness on them connects to the 2g 420a
