    Missing my old '70 Maverick

    Looks like it to me ...and the bracket is connected to a GM one-wire 135 amp alternator.

    That looks like the late model Ford 1-wire to me. Looks nice Rick. I assume this is the same car you had at the Roundup last year doing laps at the drag strip? :)

    It is the March pulley and bracket setup, the alternator is a Ford 3G single wire 130 amp.
    Hindsight being what it is I wish I had gone with the 6G alt as its smaller and lighter but same amp output.
    Matt it is the same car but not the same motor, this one has a weee bit more power :yup:

    I have a March Bracket and pulley setup with a 3g alternator. However my brackets place the alternator down low.

    That's interesting, if you have a pic I'd like to see it, that alt does kinda stick out like a sore thumb and lets face it...it can only look but so good.
    I've got a chrome Tuff Stuff alt but I'm afraid it would be too much bling bling after the valve covers and aircleaner go on and thats not the look I want.

    I will get a better picture, but as you can see in this one the alternator is definitely lower. The alternator is done in black powder coat.

    I would definitely like to see a close up of the brackets and where there mounted, very nice looking motor BTW.
    Thx for the kind words yall...I'll post a pic when it's done.

    Dennis did you solve the problem with the noise from your fuel pump?
    I took everyones advice and moved mine back to the tank area and it sounds like yours did now :90: :16suspect
