Well I have been working on other areas of the car and right now it's back at the chassis shop getting exhaust put on it. I was looking at it with my chassis guy and we decided it would probably just be easiest to drill and tap the bolt holes in the block and buy a standard snug mount kit. If I put it on the passenger side and used a regular size alt I would have to move my regulators up higher anyway. A mini alternator would have made it cost more to rig up than to just buy a kit .

are you talking about those snug mount kits that Jeg's sells for the drivers side? Do you have a stock frame? Cause Ive been thinking about using one but wasnt sure if those fit on stock frame cars.

Thanks,

I just found out tonite the normal powermaster bracket won't fit, well it will if you buy an additional 30.00 spacer kit for it. It would have been nice if they had included that little bit of info so I didn't have to pay their handleing fee twice.

Hey julven, How did that CSR kit work out for ya? I just bought a new CSR water pump and I just ran into the same problem that you guys are having. I looked at CSR's mounting kit for the alternator they have for a BIG block. Its is a lil expensive, but if it is a easy install and fix for this problem then I will get one. Just wondering if you got one and how it worked for ya. Oh and I am running a 3 rib crank pully and I am assuming that it will line up with the alternator when mounted to this CSR braket??????????

P.s. On summit it says it is a driver side mount.

O I really hate that. Also I hate when they send you the wrong thing and you have to send it back and wait another week or two. :evil:

Well if this is the only piece that I need to make everything work then I might want to get mine on BACKORDER too. Where did you order it from? I think Summit might have it in stock? :?

As a former owner of a speed shop I know all about backorders, sometimes its not the manufacturer its just the retailers supplier. You guys should contact CSR and ask them for a list of reatilers that carry their stuff and I bet you can find the parts you want.You might also be able to buy it direct but that somtimes means more $$$$.

Mine is on back order with CSR direct. I am not in a big push yet the car is still in the body shop. So for now I going to hold but you guys know how it is I will want it the day it is out of the shop.LOL! 79 Camaro you might check the price on CSR site I am pretty sure it was about the same price as Summit if they don't have it.Jason

I'm facing the same problem. I ordered a Moroso bracket, but it won't work. I found a vendor on ebay that sells them for less than CSI:
