    generator to alternator

    hello to all, i have a 62 INVICA convertable with the 401 motor. i want to convert to an alternator and stuck. the bottom bracket does not come close to the mount on the 1-wire alt. that i have. is there an adapter that i can get or do i have to take the old bracket off and make on for the alt.? here is a pic of the orignal bracket.

    thanks,

    john

    Call Bill Jungck at 800-445-1766. Along with any configuration of alternator you might need, he offers a universal bracket kit for about 35.00. I used one on my 40 Buick; worked great. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but after you work it to fit, it can be modified to look better if you wish. He's in Oregon, so adjust your calling time to fit your time zone. I've purchased two set-ups from him and am highly satisfied.

    You should be able to find an alternator bracket off a 63-66 401/425 to fit.I can build you a custom alternator to fit your needs.
