Among all the small stuff to get done was the alternator mount. It had been mounted to the driver's side exhaust manifold, but the manifold had cracked at the alt mount, so something had to be done about it.
Like this:
1. The alternator had been bolted to the drivers' side exhaust manifold. Here about 5/8" is cut off the manifold to make room for a new mount with a nut welded in (arrow).
2. Putting the tapped holes in the newer heads to use, the new alt mount was made out of about 3/16" thick sheet metal.
3. Trial mounted to the head and exhaust manifold (one usable threaded hole remained in the manifold).
4. New mount painted and bolted to the head and exhaust with four bolts.
The long bolt is where the alternator goes.
5. The alternator mounted to its new mount. The front strap still missing in this pic.
This new homebrewed part really should have some patina treatment to fit in, but it's flat black for now.
