61 Alternator Adjusting Strap

JJHuggins Posted 2015-03-08 10:56 PM (#472032) Subject: 61 Alternator Adjusting Strap Regular Posts: 77 Location: Denver I'm restoring a 1962 Ghia L 6.4 coupe. This car has a 1961 DeSoto 383 engine with air conditioning. I need an alternator adjusting strap for an A/C car. This may be a one year only Mopar part, number 1997 526. Anyone have pictures of the alternator strap on a 61 AC car? Thanks!
