Im buying a powermaster alternator soon and plan on changing the alternator bracket. Does anyone have any experience with this bracket from summit?

Not that one, but I am running a similar March Alternator bracket on a SBF.

While looking at people’s suggestions for headers at Ford Power Train I came across this alternator bracket.

http://www.fordpowertrain.com/lowmount.htm

I don't have any bracket on my car
Am I the only person not using a top bracket?

I just have the stock lower adjuster and the top of the alternator is bolted with a spacer to the head.

I use the same one, as JamesW.
If you use the A/C eliminator, note how mine is done. Belt route & idler pully, eliminates alternator belt squall.

I bought the bracket and had to return it because it was hitting my crank pulley. Im using the stock 3 groove pulley for the water pump.

Yea, i'm using it on my 66 coupe. it works great and looks bada** on it. i had too mount the adj rod on the lower side of the alt witch moved the alt lower, but you can still reach it to adjust without any problems. (I have the front of myengine torn apart right now, but i'll have it back together here in the next few days and i can post up pics.

(had to move the rod on bottom due to dipstick and rad hose routing ((have alunimin crossflow style in it)).

If you have any questions just let me know.

What upper radiator hose is that from (need to order one that clears my serpintine alternatot set up. I would also need to change the thermostat neck from 45* to 90*.

Thanks
