Howdy folks,

I recently picked up an 83 CJ7 (yes, a Jeep. Keep reading for the Chevy part) that the previous owner hacked a 350 into (See, there's the Chevy part). In the course of going over everything they did wrong or half-assed, I've decided to replace the 10si alternator to a cs144 (along with all the wiring). I was able to pick up a brand new 190 amp unit for a good price but I'm now having issues with bolting it up to the motor.

If I still had a decent shop at my disposal, I'd just fab up new ones and call it a day. However, now that I'm living in Suburbian Hell, the wife and neighbors cast a foul eye whenever I plug in the grinder.

Anyone done this and care to pass on where I can get the brackets? FYI, it's a long water pump with only an alternator and power steering for accesories. Alternator currently resides on the pass side, directly in front of the VC. I have no problems moving it to another location if need be.

Thanks for the help.

I just got a alternator bracket from these guys

It fits great and seems to be good quality.

Oh yeah. don't worry about what the fawk your dumbass neighbors think. Mine don't like me either.

I think the neighbors were already a little upset when I first moved in and my mustang exhaust woke them up everyday at 6 am. I thought I was doing them a favor by acting as a backup alarm.

Update:
Alan Grove said none of their adapters will work. :(
