Power Steering and Altenator Brackets

Can anyone tell/show me how to mount the PS and Alt mount brackets on a 69 BB?

Thanks, Rog.

The AIM shows you how to do it. Do you have the AIM?

Thanks Mike, figured it out via AIM, didn't realize that one bracket was not for my set up. I do have an issue now with altenator neg terminal contacting my rocker cover.

You can get alternators with the backs at the 3, 6, 9, or 12 O'clock position. Sounds like yours is not setup right for your car.

I ran into an issue with the alt. body and the valve cover when I went to alum covers

But that was the body, sounds like you just need to re-clock your alt to move the ground wire.

I recently changed to a CS144 alt and when I did I modified the upper bracket to give more room at the valve cover so that's one issue gone

Looks about like mine. Almost have to remove the alternator to get the rocker cover off.

Cool
Maybe see you down in Uxbridge this summer at one of the cruise nights. (If I stop taking things off the car I might even be in the drivers seat instead of passenger boy again this year...)
