I can't put an A/C bracket on the pass side that is where my power steering pump is. I am going to buy the Alternator from Kennedy that fits the stock bracket. I already have the 36" belt the guy used when he did his swap. Nothing can ever be easy on these cars. "Doc"

Doc, When I swapped mine I had the same problem but I put an A/C bracket on off a Concord(on the passenger side) and the alt mounts to it. No steering interference now.

I figured I had time as this Motorola in the car was only 9 months old and had roughly 1,000 miles on it. The Motorola one in the car when I bought it crapped out the second week I had the car on the road one night on my way home from the local cruise. A friend bought 4 of them from a local auto parts store just to have and sold me one for 40$. I was unable to get in touch with him so I bought one from the local auto parts store for 60$ to get the car running. Since the weather has been so hot lately I have mainly used this car every day as it is the only one out of my 3 that the A/C works. The one wire Delco is a breeze to install on a V8 with a kit from Kennedy. My son bought one for his Javelin. And also not a problem on a Hornet as long as it does not have power steering. Fortunatey for me the car has power steering, unfortunate for the alt. swap though. Clearance between the Alt and the steering box on a power steering car is minimual at best with the stock Motorola. A guy on the AMX files had his alt. go bad at the Kenosha meet last weekend in his American. He bought one of Kennedys that fits in the stock mounting bracket but needed a shorter belt to properly tighten it. He got home with the stock belt barely turning the alt. and then replaced it with a 5/8" shorter belt. He gave me the belt no# and I bought 2 of them. Next week I will call Kennedy about a Deloc Alt. I figure when I have the new radiator, water pump and timeing chain installed I will also have the Delco installed. I have all the parts except the Delco alternator. "Doc" Yahoo!
