Of all the various ideas for relocating the alternator, I like the idea of putting it down at the lower left the best. That would give great wrap on the waterpump pulley, leave a clean look to the engine, and with a little effort I could probably modify the aftermarket bracket that I ended up paying $82 for, to fit there. Only problem is, my mechanical fuel pump is in the way. You know, its all about money. So far I have spent $82 for the alt. bracket, and $48 for the 2-groove crank pulley, and $12 for the v-belt. I don't know what an electric fuel pump is worth, but I would hazard a gues that it would spoil $200. I have the money to spend, but my gut just kind of rebels at spending anything that I don't have to. This is a hobby for me, and so far I have about $11,000 invested, with probably another $5000 to complete it---$1000 for tires, baby moons, trim rings, $1000 for paint,$1000 for interior, etcetera. Is there any production vehicles that would be available at the wreckers which would have an electric fuel pump that would run in conjunction with a carburator? I simply don't know. I will probably take the approach that "run it as it is" and see if there is a problem. If not, then great. If so, then its not a big deal to change it after the fact. If other people are running the same set-up without experiencing problems, then I'll probably be O.K.Old guy hot rodder
