s/b alt brackets

[burrpenick]

I need some for my 72 Cuda s/b with PS but no AC. This was a basket case and I have found this triangle with 2 holes that match up on the top of the water pump that may be the top bracket. Its offset about an inch and has a nut welded on the inside of that hole for the long bolt. Is this the right piece for my car and alternator? I DO NOT have the bolt or spacers but they s/b available locally at the hardware, but I have no bottom adjusting bracket. COuld I get one at the junk yard of a later V8 new yorker etc? Is it offset like the top bracket or is it flat?

Thanks, George

A pic of the small block set up is the best way to show this & no I do not have one handy

The attached pics are from Ebay and they claim they will fit all s/b mopars. What does it look like to you? I may be able to use that triangle I have with the nut, it appears to be the exact same shape as this chrome one with the exception of the nut welded on . I could just cut that off easily. I do not have the bottom slot rod, did pick up one off a slant six but it is straight, it appears the V8 one is rounded and off set, similar to the top bracket. COMENTS, SUGGESTIONS, HELP!!!!!

George,

  All I can tell you is that isn't from a big-block. I just hope it's from a Mopar.

The brackets advertised on Ebay are for a s/b mopar, but I am told that 1970 and later used something just alittle different. THey mentioned the water pump was different, maybe thats why I keep hearing about guys having to shim their pulleys, they have mis matched brackets and pulleys? I dont know if the pulley I ha using is from a 70 and up or not, so I am kind of stuck. Got the $20 ones from the Ebay store or pay Mopars by Crane $40, and then I may still have to shim.

thanks, they had a better price than Crane and the site explained the differences as well.

Bouchillon Performance tells me that I need both pulleys in addition to these 70 and later non ac Alternator brackets he sells and on top of that, a single groove alternator. HELP, is there a way to use what I have, shimming perhaps?

Not sure if these will help or not.. but here are pix of my 73 Cuda alternator brackets and install... I currently have a 70 340 in it till I can get numbers matching engine rebuilt.

Hope these help!
