Alternator Setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Legolas894 · 03-13-2012, 08:17 PM

Since I had the truck, I've had the alternator mounted on the lower PS holes. I wanted it up on the top driver's side but my heads didn't have the mounting holes for the most popular setup. The other alternative was to mount it to the Ramhorn exhaust manifold but I didn't have the boss with the mounting holes there either. Well, I bought a ramhorn off a board member with the holes. Got it all up and running (fit like a dream). Now I can't find the pics of the setup and the bracket. I've got a few brackets to choose from. Can someone post a pic of their engine bay with the alternator mounted to the bolts on the exhaust manifold?

I've got a 283.

Thanks!!!
