Hi, this might seem like a stupid question, but I can not figure out where the Alternator hooks up to my engine.
I started the restoration of my 66 Classic 18 - 5 years ago, then got sick with Lyme (I hate ticks). Anyway, much better now, have set the new 351 engine, but I can't figure this out.
One picture I see shows the Alt on the left side (facing front of engine) above the raw water pump, and it appears that the Alt mounting bracket is attached to the circulating water pump.
Another picture shows the Alt on the right side (facing).
I have two different brackets, both are suppost to be for the 351, but I can not figure this out. I have removed several bolts on the circulating pump and can not get two holes in the Alt bracket to match the water pump.
Does the bracket only attach with one bolt to the water pump?
Any help is appreciated. I really want to finish the restoration this month.
Can you post a picture. That would really help.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex.
