327 headers and camel hump alternator mounting?
My 327 with headers needs an altrnator mount and I can't figure it out. I need to find a bracket or something. I assume this has been done 100's of times and I would really ppreciate some direction. Here is another thread in which I posted a couple pictures as possibilities.

Purchased mine through Wheels of Time, at Cruisin the Coast about 5 years ago.
Hope this helps

Word to the wise. Header bolts are notorious for coming loose. I use Doug Thorley headers with the thickest flanges in the business. While the standard header bolt threads on, not all that many threads catch (because of the extra space for the mount) and I've had these two bolts continually come loose until I replaced them with two slightly longer bolts.

Try to use "header" bolts. The heads are smaller so you can get a wrench on next to the pipe. The problem is finding two that are a little longer for that first cylinder to account for the bracket. Luckily, that is not too difficult a cylinder to get a wrench on.

Stan's sent me a thick graphite gasket with the headers. Seems soft enough that it would seal any leak. I don't really know. Thanks for the locktite tip. I didn't think of that.

Stage 8, they make a longer bolt also.
Again, make sure to test fit that bracket before you slam the hood down. Use clay or a soft toosie roll to check the clearance.
