confused about how alternator brackets mount
I feel dumb for asking this but I totally forgot how my alternator brackets mount on the engine. I have the old V-groove style setup. There are two pieces that make up the alternator brackets.
One is a triangle shaped piece and the other is a banana shaped piece that allows for adjustment of the alternator belt. Does anyone have a picture of the front of their engine that shows how these brackets mount? I just got my new engine in and I'm in the middle of hooking everythnig back up. |
The V shaped piece goes on the water pump with the hole for the alt. lining with hole in cyl. head there is also a long spacer that goes with the long pivot bolt. the adj arm mounts off the wp also, whic hhole I dont remember but it need to line up wit h the alt and not intefer with the cooling blades of the alt.

I think I know what you are saying.
Do both brackets share one of the same bolt holes that mount to the water pump? Kind of like overlapping each other? If someone had a picture, that would be great? |
brackets
I thought the 302...351w setup was similar. If I am right, then the two brackets do not overlap each other.
If you do not figure it out in the next few days...I will post a picture of mine, but it is in the body shop back home...will take me a while to get the the pic. Ryan |
Ford made a lot of different bracket setups over the years. It doesn't matter if you have the same brackets as I do just as long as I can get an idea how they go.
I know this should be a simple thing to figure out but I'm not good with puzzles....LOL |
