kobrabytes Len I have my Alt on the L/S on my engine up at the top just below my outlet and upper radiator hose on my car. The reason was because of room being tight from the blower and my P/S pump is on the lower R/S mounted to the timing cover bottom 2 bolt holes. My timing cover is one that works with a solid motor plate and mounts to the frame rails. The correct ERA way is that it mounts on the R/S of the motor in a higher location. Except for my Alt being a little short in max output (70a) it has worked fine for 11 years. I am going to a bigger 120-130a because of charging issues when racing. Too much draw with the added pumps and fans. Rick L. Ps the Amp gauge and wiring through it must be changed to a Volt gauge. The old gauges where only set to handle 60 amps with spikes in the 90's for a short time.
