302 alternator mounting

[meteor]

For all you guys running a 302...how did you mount your alternator? I'm looking for a simple and clean solution like the older 289 brackets. I bought a set of these but there is no way to mount the adjusting bracket on the waterpump or timing cover.

thanks!

Need to know vintage (year) of 302 and what other accessories you are using (AC-PS).

Type of ALT (1G or 3G)?

V-Belt, multi-rib or serpentine?

It's an '87 302 (5.0 HO), no AC, no PS with a v-belt setup. I don't which type of alternator to use yet - so I haven't got one. thx!

...sheesh...

I dropped the ball on this one...

Do you still need the info?

Sorry.

That engine has the reverse rotation water pump on it unless you changed it out.  Take a look at the cast pieces that mount the accessories for the 302, I was able to trim off the PS mount, used the AC mount (wanted AC on the car) and mounted the Alternator in the stock location.  Used a serpintine belt of custom length and the stock tension pully.  If I remember correctly the mounts were two parts, one part had the alt and tensioner and the second had the AC and PS.
