Hi Everyone, New Street Rodder here, with a question
Hi everyone, new street rodder here.
To start, i have been a MoPar guy all my life, and worked on my own stuff too, that being said, i am somewhat unschooled in GM stuff, meaning i have never owned one and dont know much about 350's etc.
I have had C body, B body and A body Chrysler products and have a 69 Super Bee right now.
My wife has been a hot rod girl for a long time, she had a 66 Charger, a 70 442 and a lifted 77 GMC in the 70's truck craze.
So... the other day we had the chance to buy a 41 Chrysler street rod she fell in love with. Actually its a 41 Chrysler Business Coupe with a 37 Chevy front end, with a 350/350 10 bolt, GM electrics etc.
So, the alternator was making a nasty grinding noise so i replaced it, how fun, my first lesson in working around fat fenders. Some of you guys may have the same set up. Its got a neat turnbuckle style belt tightening bracket, but it sure shakes around alot.
It doesnt have a brace from the back of the alternator to the manifold. Does someone make one? I can post some pics of the engine if need be, or just for the heck of it if anyone is interested.
ThanksGirls love Hot Rods too
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
