The owner says I may need to shell out some big bucks to get some brackets that will address my problem....I guess my old block (late 50's or early 60's) does not have certain holes for mounting up all the correct brackets. I'm told that a long water pump would solve everything but then It would hit my radiator so thats not an option. Any suggestions no how to line everything up on an old block?  | | |

You can get a P/S bracket setup for about the same money.Check with your local hot rod shop and ask about plain steel, that's where you save the money. I bought mine at a Goodguys show for $39.95.

Alternator brackets I have mount it high on the right side - bolts to the water pump and intake manifold. Made by Bill's Hot Rod parts in LA. I think he also has brackets for AC if you are interested. | | |

I've got the alternator figured out as I purchased a big arm to hold the top of the alt and the piece it pivots on is bolted to the headers. The main issue is the PSteering unit lining up with everything. I'll give them a call and see what they can come up with. I just dont want to spend hundreds on a billet system....ich! I'll let you know how it works out. -Mike Gardner | | |
