alternator brackets?
does anyone have alternator brakets for sale? I need some for a 390. Right now im running a one wire 140 amp chevy alternator, mounted using a modified stock generator bracket from the 390.

The FE alternator brackets are the same ones used with the early small blocks. Both the adjuster and the support bracket are common to the 260-289, early 302 bracket. Alternator spacer is different though. If you still need a set , I've got extra's, $20 for both, and the aluminum spacer too + shipping.

This is what you need to install an alternator on a generator equipped 390. It includes a special rear bracket that bolts into the block to mount the through bolt on the alternator. It also comes in polished stainless for $10.00 more.

The low mount Ford Alternator bracket is available in Junk Yards. Look on any FE powered truck from 65-76.

I don't know William, some early blocks I've seen don't have enough meat for drilling and tapping.
If the poster (merc62) has a '70's something FE, why did he say he's currently using the stock generator bracket from it?

Maybe that's all he had at the time when he put it together. And William, it's 3/8ths not 3/16ths. Most Alternator pivot bolts are 7/16ths though so a 3/8ths bolt would require a bushing to take up the slop. I pulled a 67-68 Block out of a 63 Merc, so at this point in time Merc62 could very well have a later block in there.
