I have a pile of brackets and alternators and need to know which ones are right for my car, a 1969 Skylark Custom 350 with factory AC and power steering. I’m pretty sure the alt and compressor are from my motor. The previous owner was planning on swapping to a 455 and I dunno which are which. Thanks! Skwerly55@gmail.com
The 350 stuff will work fine. The lower 2 are small Chevy alternator. The aluminum bracket is alternator, air cond lower. I don’t see an alternator upper for big Buick. The big issue is pulleys. Skylark needs short water pump for big block also.
Thanks Alec, I’m not planning on putting the AC back in. Which pulleys will I need for a 350? I have the steering pump pulley still on the pump. I have a single groove that looks like a sombrero, which looks to fit the h2o pump/fan? My original crank pulley had 4 grooves but is now trashed due to an engine being dropped on it. Anyone have pics? I do have the 69 assy manual.
The steering pump and pulley should be fine. The alternator and lower aluminum bracket will work also. The crank pulley should have been 3 groove. A 455 one should work. Water pump pulley should have been 2 groove with air conditioning. 1 groove if non ac.
