Thread: General Hemi info part 4

I have used the SB short water pump alternator bracket with various modifications on a ton for custom applications. These brackets were found on 70’s Chevy SB powered trucks and Corvettes. I usually keep a couple sitting on the shelf. It’s been about 10 years since I bought one new from the Chevy dealership, but at they time they ran about $12. They should still be available new or easily found at most wrecking yards. All I did was shorten the bracket, re-drill the lower hole, find a spacer for the back side so it would mount flush and use an off the shelf chrome alt adjustment arm (I had to put a slight “S” bend in it so it would line up. I have less than $25 tied up in it. You can buy an aftermarket mount that mounts the alt in this location shown below it’s about $75.

You can also see another bracket set up I built (for a Chrysler alternator) if you look closely at the picture in this post. http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...threadid=15088

Yes I wimped out and bought the AC compressor bracket.
