Anybody running a crank trigger setup on a Fox with a Vortech? I went to put mine on today and there’s just not enough room with the alternator where it’s at. I trimmed the edge of the crank trigger bracket down as much as I could and still no go.

Think I’m going to have to either find an alternator with a smaller body or make a couple of extensions to swing the alternator down some. It’s a street car with AC and PS so there’s no room to move the alternator to the drivers side.

I forgot to take a pic with the crank trigger bolted up but you can see how tight it is.





 
I made a post here and Corral about it. A member on Corral responded and not only had info/pics of the bracket he made, but he still had the bracket and shipped it to me! This should solve my problem, on to the next one! Lol

The other bracket, the alternator stay bracket, needed some modification too. I ended up just doing away with it and making a new one. Basically it mounts to the front of the smog delete bracket then goes around the alternator to the lower mount point. Mocked up a template and sent it over to a local shop to have it cut out on the water jet. Should have it in a couple of days. I’ll get some pictures of it mounted up once I get it back
