Need pictures of March/etc alternator and power steering brackets installed

[5.0calypso93lx]

Just like the title says, I'm looking for pictures of march or other aftermarket alternator and power steering brackets installed. It would be even better if it were a 351w, but I think the only difference is the longer bracket for the alternator. My specific part numbers are 30035 and 30055.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I hate march.There crap didnt fit my engine (302) and there bracketry sucks to high heaven.I went to Fastenal for a bolt to fit through my alternator into there alternator bracket for the tensioner.Fastenal has never seen a threading like it and when I called March they just told me to run a bolt through it with a nut on the other end.That is NOT why I paid high dollar for.AND I had to modify that stupid alternator bracket to fit a stock 95 130 amp alternator.They didnt even want to send me the correct bolt for the lower bracket that went through the water pump and timing cover into the block.I will never buy from them again.

Just to let you know,It will not be a bolt on deal.You will have to modify whatever they send you.I bought the 30028 kit for mine.And I paid good money for it.But when I have to grind on shit to make it fit,its not that good.Ill post pics when I get home.

Who else would you buy from? They sort of have the bracket market cornered.

I'm not so big, on March either. When I bought my motor, it had one on it, so I'm using it. I had to buy a longer adjusting rod and re-route the belt, in order to make it work. I do think it was designed for a regular water pump, so that could be the difference.

It's just hard to tell from those pics which spacer goes where as well as which bolt. March's instructions aren't any better.

The alt bracket I bought off Kelly and is a March replica. The power steering bracket is the billet piece from UPR. So neither are actually March pieces lol.

I know I just need to spend more time with it and find out where each will work. I was just hoping to get a clear picture to show exactly where each goes. As I was trying the other night, the alt bracket was actually coming in contact with the WP pulley?

Any way you can get a shot from the lower left hand corner of the engine bay looking up at the bracket?

Just sucks that it doesn't work with power steering and they don't have a 351w version. Gotta have my power steering, it's a street car!! :lol:

These taken before I got the longer adjusting rod and I'm also using a different alternator and pulley. Also note that the front pulley, doesn't use the spacer, on this set up.

If you need some other pictures, I'll have to get off my lazy ass and walk out to the garage to get them. :o
