Re: [AMC-list] Pacer in CO Springs

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One problem with the old blocks involves using a Delco alternator on the old 
Motorola mount postion).  The old Motorola was mounted low on the driver's site 
and a Delco was mounted high on the passenger side.  Having just gone through 
this, I can tell you that the boss for the Delco
alternator mount is not drilled on an older (1972 in my case) block.  In fact 
there is no boss in the block casting for the highest bolt of the 

Delco mount.   However, you can mount a Delco alternator low on the driver side 
where the Motorola was formerly mounted if you either modify the alterntor for 
the Motorola mount (or in my case, purchasea mount adapter to allow the use of a 
Delco alternator on the old Motorola mount).  Assuming that the Delco alternator 
in that low postion will not interfere with the Pacer steering gear (and that is 
an assumption on my part) I think everything else should fit under the hood of a 
Pacer.  A/C mounting, power steering mounting could of course confuse the issure 
further.
 
So I hope I'm still safe in saying:  like a hot dog in a bun.

I'm fairly certain that the 1974 and earlier blocks will not fit the 
Pacer.  Some of the accessory mount points were changed in 1975 to a 
low profile style to allow mounting in the Pacer.  It may be that you 
can use the brackets off the 1975 engine, but I think there were some 
new bosses on the 1975 block.  Attachment points for the motor mount 
brackets to the block may also have changed.
