CS130 Alternator Conversion

[Zoomy]

Hey;

I'm new to this forum.

I "Repurchased" my old '72 Chevelle just recently.

It was "suppose" to have been "almost" restored & in great running condition.

NOT !!!

The alternator died within the week.

I have a CS-130 Alt. I'd like to retro-fit.

** My only problem is the Upper Bracket.

I'd like to keep it on the original/shotgun side.

The upper alt mounting hole is at the 10/11 o'clock position
as opposed to the OEM 12/6 position.

I know someone has done this before.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thnx

You're saying the mounting holes are at 10/11 or the upper hole is somewhere around 10 or 11? Some CS130s have 12/6, some have 2/6. There may be other configurations.

If your upper hole is at 10, looking from the other side would be 2. That will work on a driver's side mount but not on the passenger side unless you fab up a new upper bracket. Worst case you buy a new one with 12/6 mounts and use yours as a core.

Yes

The Upper mounting hole is at 10 or 2 depending on how you look at it.

And

Figured out my mounting problem.

I saw a picture of Marsh Alternator Brackets on Summit.

It uses a Turnbuckle & an offset bracket That I made.

Went to True Value and came up with my own.

Will be putting it all together this weekend.

Later
