Altenator Bracket for 1967 283 Sb chevy
 

Ok heres the story, I have a 1976 chevy with a 283, from the numbers it is not original. I am playing around with it add somethings, i have added a new manifold and 4 barrel, the old manifold had mounting holes for the altenator, the new one does not. I also do not have mounting holes in my heads. I have purchased several new brakets and none of them seem to line up? It is currently on the drivers side as i want to add A/C soon.


So
How do i tell if i have a long/short water pump?
and does anyone have a picture of the lower bracket?

thanks

Here you are. Your brackets will depend on the water pump you have.

Nice!!! I am sure it is a short, do we have any idea where the lower bracket bolted on?

The lower bracket was either part of the exhaust manifold, or bolted to the #1 cyl exhaust manifold bolts. There's a lower mount available out there for header usage, I bet it would work for you with some fitting adjustment. I think it's these 2 pieces...

I cant help with pics, but the 67 had a bracket that bolted to the end of the ex manifold , to mount the alternator.....68 -72 had the bracket mounted to the head, but the earley heads did not have the bolt bosses in the heads. I does look like you have the short waterpump.....crazyL

clay that is what i have will one of them, that is what i think i need but i have know idea where it goes? Does the bracket part mount the the exhaust manifold then the alternator bracket hook to it??/ hope that made sense.

Through the 283/327 engine run the driver side exhaust manifold was a mounting point for the alternator,not the head.With early heads you need to either use original-style manifolds,drill & tap head/use washers to use later alt. bracket ,or use mount made for headers.The upper arm is longer to reach back to water pump mounting bolt.
