C1 alternator conversion
I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a 62 and want to convert my generator to an alternator. The engine has a stock 327 block but the heads are later model (71 I believe) so they are drilled for accessories. I'm using the stock (340 HP) exhaust manifolds. I would like to mount the alternator on the right so I don't have to relocate the expansion tank. I'm not sure what bracket assembly I would need to do this. Has anyone done a similar conversion. I read an archived posting about a conversion in a 58 but it talked about changing to later model manifolds and mounting the alternator there. Since I have later model heads I was hoping the conversion would be less invloved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a new alternator, bracket, and wiring diagram which will fit your existing manifold. I will gladly swap this setup for your 62 generator. :D
