Need Alternator bracket for '79 V-6 Turbo

[dmarx]

Does anyone have a picture of an alternator bracket or one they can can part with for a '79 Turbo?
Thanks

Do you need one with an AC bracket or just an alternator bracket Dan?

 

[dmarx]

Yep, need one with the AC as well. However, I am putting a Sanden compressor on it. I need something I can work with. Please send a pix. Your input is greatfully appreciated.

I'll dig it out and take a pic for you Dan. Do you still need a header?

 

[dmarx]

I still need headers, however, I will probably need custom bent to clear the steering shaft.

 

[charlief1]

Or you could just use offset borjenson joint set up on the steering shaft.

Checked the passenger header I've got here at the house and I still need to do a crack repair on it but it's been ported some as well. I'll see about taking care of this and take a pic for you. I know I've got one drivers side header that I really haven't taken a look at yet and a stock crossover if needed.

Unfortunaely I don't have an aluminum alt bracket that hasn't been powder costed, but I do have a steel one if you want to use it.

 

[dmarx]

Yes, steel would great, easier to modify. Thanks

I'll take pics for you before I take it off the car and then take some off the car for you Dan. That'll help you set everything up easier.

Alt bracket needed

I just had the front end aligned, all was good. Worried just a bit that I did the measurements correctly. Engine is set and motor mounts were adjusted. Steering linkage is finally set up. Frame is in for paint, then the body goes. Engine pix to follow when I get the Ac/alt mounted.

looks good!

 

[charlief1]

Looks good Dan but I'm wondering why you set it up with rear steer? Also remember that you'll need to re-align it after you get the nose on it.

 

[dmarx]

Regarding the rear steer issue, how about, just didn't know there was a difference when I ordered it. Hopefully when the nose goes on, the alignment will be within specs. You have to remove the front fenders to align it.

 

[charlief1]

What did you set it at Dan and how much does the nose weigh? You can compensate if you add the total weight to it so you can check before you install the nose.

That will be a fun ride:biggrin:

Need AC/Alt Bracket

I have an aluminum bracket from a NA engine, are they the same? I do need a steel one though.

[charlief1]

Think this one would work for you Dan?:smile:

 

[dmarx]

If that is off a turbo car, I'll take it. I can make that work. Thanks
