CS130 Alternator Conversion
 

Hey;

I'm new to this forum.

I "Repurchased" my old '72 Chevelle just recently.

It was "suppose" to have been "almost" restored & in great running condition.

NOT !!!

The alternator died within the week.

I have a CS-130 Alt. I'd like to retro-fit.

** My only problem is the Upper Bracket.

I'd like to keep it on the original/shotgun side.

The upper alt mounting hole is at the 10/11 o'clock position
as opposed to the OEM 12/6 position.

I know someone has done this before.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thnx

You're saying the mounting holes are at 10/11 or the upper hole is somewhere around 10 or 11? Some CS130s have 12/6, some have 2/6. There may be other configurations.

If your upper hole is at 10, looking from the other side would be 2. That will work on a driver's side mount but not on the passenger side unless you fab up a new upper bracket. Worst case you buy a new one with 12/6 mounts and use yours as a core.

Yes

The Upper mounting hole is at 10 or 2 depending on how you look at it.

And

Figured out my mounting problem.

I saw a picture of Marsh Alternator Brackets on Summit.

It uses a Turnbuckle & an offset bracket That I made.

Went to True Value and came up with my own.

Will be putting it all together this weekend.

Later

Great, glad you got it sorted out.

By the way Zoomy, welcome to the site.
