Alternator bracket 440 A/C

[khan68]

I purchased a powermaster 8-48529 alternator as this should fit my car, well it doesant
Seems like the A/C cars have a different bracket than non ac.
Has anybody been down this path before? I cant find any kits to make this work.
Picture of old / new alternator and original bracket.

Thanks

That style powermaster is not going to work with that style mounting. You need the round back style powermaster.

thanks but i dont think that will work since the car has 2 belts, i guess thats why i have a different bracket than what the alternator was designed for. The alt. was recommended to me by tech at powermaster and should be a bolt on with 2 spacers.

What year car? Possibly a newer style mounting would work with the spacers.

Mine seems to be different than both of the above. Depends on the year.

This is 69 and laters. Actually up to 72, with the belt idler pulley for the water pump. 73 changed on this last (not anymore the idler pulley).

68 pivots opposite, upsided down

The poster knows how the alternator mounts. His problem is with mounting the Powermaster alternator he bought. Read.

Well ... I did read, your post #5 you suggest a ( newer style bracket may work with some spacers )
I just thought I would show the OP the 76 and later oem set up that he could possibly set up as per your advice.
They are different in mounting aspect , no idler , stamped ,not cast as his pics show.
If khan thought he could use them I would be glad to give them to him.
Just trying to help out.

Wondering… if Powermaster gets perfect fit replacements (PN 7108 single pulley and 7109 dual pulley) with better output performance and being plug and play, why try to fit one that doesn’t fit?

Is an 165 amps output alt really necessary on your setup?

The alternator i bought was recommended to me by tech department at powermaster before purchase, it also shows as a "fit to vehicle" at summit when i ordered. So i was unaware of the issue until i received it and was going to mount it...
165(120 at idle) is more than i need at the moment, but when im already changing out all harnesses/upgrading the system i thought i might as well get the bigger one in case, the cost difference was not too much.

I guess the best solution will be to order another one that fit my bracket. Just a shame to spend approx 500 usd incl shipping & tax on a part i can't use. Will probably go for the tuff stuff alternator that another member here recommended me earlier.

Why not update the mounting brackets and use the alternator.

I spoken to mancini, 440source & bouschillion performance and nobody can supply a bracket that fits my car they said. If you know about something please let me know to me it seems the AC(2 belts) makes it difficult to mount something standard.
