I have a nice 3 piece 72 only BBC alternator bracket set that I would like to trade for a set of NOS 71-72 sport mirrors or part trade for an AM/FM radio or blue houndstooth bucket seat covers. Any interest? Thanks.

Would you sell these? If so how much to 75771.

Thanks

Kevin- I would rather trade these for parts I need to avoid having to hand over any cash to my wife.

Joking aside--where does that rod mount to???LOL

**leddzepp** · 08-18-2008, 05:51 PM

The support rod bolts to a tab on the back of the upper bracket and the other end attaches to the block at the exhaust manifold. These were only made for 1 year (72). The rod lends support and stability to the alternator. There were problems with the 2 piece design breaking on the previous years. These will work with any short water pump big block engine. I will try to post a pic later of it installed.

How about one NOS mirror with a cracked glass for the support rod?

uh...no thanks

HuggerCST · 08-18-2008, 06:46 PM

Oh well, it was all that I had on your list.

BB72CHEVKT · 08-19-2008, 12:05 PM

Will the bracket/ rod work with headers?

I am not sure, as I do not run headers. I will take a look tonite, and try to post a pic of it installed with the exhaust manifolds so you will be able to judge for yourself. The bracket will work, as it attaches to the head, just not sure about the support rod.

Please don't go thru that trouble as a have nothing to trade for it! I was just wondering so if I find another 72 only I would know if it will work.

**leddzepp** · 08-20-2008, 01:42 AM

Here are some pics showing how they mount. The upper bracket and the rod are 72 only. The lower bracket is the same for all 68-72 big block short water pump. The support rod actually attaches to the head above the exhaust manifold and clears it, so it looks to me like they would clear headers as well.

BB72CHEVKT · 08-20-2008, 09:35 AM

Thanks for the info.

Inthuwind · 08-20-2008, 10:16 PM

Can you give me a measurement from center to center? Also, I have a perfect BB exhaust manifold heat shield. Let me know if you're interested.

It measures exactly 10 13/16" from center to center on the mounting holes (just over 10 3/4") Here is a pic of it. It is a straight rod, but the tabs are offset at the ends. PM sent.
