Alternator mounts not looking right...
Hey Ian hows things?
unfortunatly you were sold v8 alternator brackets but they appear to be for an A/C setup, the thing that is wrong in your picutures as others have said is the triangle bracket that bolts to the waterpump. also do you have the two spacers and long bolt that are needed?
as you know shipping is killer on parts online. PM me I think I can help with this one
I have absolutely no idea what year my 360 is...is there a way I can tell ?
Hoping to install the engine tomorrow but finding bolts for the flexplate has been interesting..not quite there yet.
So after reading and a lot of help from FABO members i decided that yes, I had the right brackets sold to me to mount the alternator on to the 360. They look exactly like the ones I see in a book about ebuilding a 360.
I also noticed that i didn't have a very long bolt that screws into the block plus two spacers.
Out of fun, I tossed the alternator on the car tonight just to see how it all goes together and there is no way, the long bolt will fit...the alignment is off.
Was I sold the wrong brackets or is how I have mounted, correct except for the spacer between the two ears of the alternator ?
I would not have believed that a silple issue like this could cause so much consternation.
As always, i appreciate any help.
