alternator/PS brackets-fitment
 

Well, I have run into another problem and wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat. I put a sbc 383 in my truck and added an aluminum short water pump, the problem I have is now with the short water pump I dont have a bracket to fit for the alternator. I was told the only way to fix this is a late 60's model corvette bracket. Is this true or can someone shed some light on the subject. Some of you my know about the alignment problem that I was having, turned out a speed shop said that I have to shim the harmonic balancer.:crazy: I thought this part would be easy...herrs some pictures so you can see the heads and bolt holes. thanks all!

The only thing I can suggest is to get or make a waterpump spacer. Just make the length of it the difference between the two.

That or get all different pullies & brackets...

You may also have to make or get a different style powersteering bracket.


Oh wait, you could always get a long pump. DOH

You should be able to get an Alaan Grove barcket that will work with it. His brackets are supposed to be very high quality, and are quite reasonably priced. I will probably buy one of his alternator brackets for my '37 eventually.

Alan Grove has GREAT products. I purchased all of my brackets from them and am VERY pleased.
