How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
![]() Just received these from southern parts from his parted 68 V8. I can't figure out how the angled bracket mounts to the exhaust thread boss's. It just doesn't seem to fit in any why I try. I assumed 67/68 were the same and mounted the same. Most pics I find the alt is covereing up the lower bracket. Any insight would be apprecated. Many I have the wrong ones but Southern did say they mounted to the exhaust :-( I know I will feel stupid if they really do fit and I just couldn't figure it out. |

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
Does your exhaust look like this one?

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
Here is how mine are.
1968 truck ram exhaust manifold. The lower bracket you have is what I have, but those uppers you may have trouble with (Not enough arch). Check my last pic.

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
Indyuke, yes my exhaust looks like yours. My brackets look nothing like the one attached to your manifold. Maybe I have the wrong one.

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
Looks like I have the wrong set. Indyuke, is that exhaust/bracket off a 67?

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
Looks like the upper style that you have, are the ones that bolt to the intake. They often stack 2 together, to make them more rigid. Give that a try.

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
I believe the brackets you have are not used for the exhaust manifold that Indyuke posted. They use a different type manifold boss.

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
So my next question is are the manifolds with the threads pointing out correct for a 67 or are the ones pointing forward? If I understand which manifold is correct I can find that years alt brackets. Thanks for aLL THE HELP SO FAR guys!!!!

Re: How too mount the alt brackets to the exhaust
I was under the impression that what DPowers and Vectorit has was used for the 67-68 283 and 327 are correct... take a look at this site: http://www.am-autoparts.com/AM/Exhau...-/AM-28014528/
The style I have was used more often in the early to mid-60's trucks and in most corvettes. If you have the same setup I have, then you should only need the angled pieces to secure the top of the alt. by bolting it to the intake manifold like DPowers last pic shows. Can you post a pic of the exhaust manifold that's on the truck? Last edited by Indyuke; 09-02-2010 at 01:29 PM. |
