With the original Vega wiring having the
Alternator connections on the Drivers Side, I thought it
would be of great benefit to locate the V8 Alternator
in the same location. Additionally, it seemed
logical to place the Alternator above the Water Pump as
well. I found a combination of parts that accomplish
this with the Short Water Pump (SWP) and they are a
mixture of GM Pulleys, and OMC (PowerBoat) Brackets. The
end result is 6" crank and water pump pulleys with
double grooves and an Alternator that sits just above
the Intake Manifold, just right of the Water Outlet.
The Alternator Bracket bolts to the Drivers Side
Cylinder Head, so you need Heads with accessory holes and
the Adjuster Bar bolts to the Passengers Side upper
Water Pump Mounting Bolt. Here are the part numbers. It
looks and works great....Robert
