50-N alternater for Scenicruiser?????

[Bob Belter]

Ahoy, BusFolks,

The DD guys can certainly expand on this, but my understanding (and recollection) is that there is an intermediate adapter plate between the engine and the 50-N which MUST be properly installed with a locating fixture.  It is to establish the proper 'lash' between the gear set.  If not correct, big bangs for sure!!!!  The gear set is, as I recall on my 8v-71 was a pinion on the 50-D running inside a driving gear at a 2.5:1 ratio, with the driving gear being on the end of a camshaft.

Enjoy  /s/  Bob
