hi i got a vs statesman wit a side mount charger and the hose that goes from the motor to the bottom of the charger keeps rubbing on alternator wire. is there a different plug i can get for the alternator so the wires come out of the side of the plug instead of the back of the plug as i cant move the hose. or wat else can i do.

If you remove the alternator you can remove the 4 screws that hold the front and back covers together (remove the regulator first), split the alternator and then turn the rear section 90° to clear your pipe.

You can’t rotate the back housing independently of the front one as the mount uses both the front and rear.

Get an L67 alternator

His ride says it's a V8 which is what I based my reply on.
