He jon, OT. BUt, do you have any pics of your alternator blower? Corn leaves are giving me fits
The duct, made from two 90 degree downspout elbows pop rivited together. It is attached to the air intake pipe by a little steel bracket that is pop rivited to the duct and clamped with a radiator hose clamp to the air tube.
Air exiting a 1480 fan shroud, rolls off that rounded shroud lip and goes almost straight to the rear. The duct directs this screened air to form a high pressure pocket of clean air at the alternator air intake(rear of the alternator), which keeps the big chunks floating around the engine away from the alternator.
Life of a 10SI Delco alternator was 2 weeks to two days without the duct(plugged and burned out), VS 5 years with it(worn out.)
