Hi everyone, new street rodder here.

To start, i have been a MoPar guy all my life, and worked on my own stuff too, that being said, i am somewhat unschooled in GM stuff, meaning i have never owned one and dont know much about 350's etc.

I have had C body, B body and A body Chrysler products and have a 69 Super Bee right now.

My wife has been a hot rod girl for a long time, she had a 66 Charger, a 70 442 and a lifted 77 GMC in the 70's truck craze.

So... the other day we had the chance to buy a 41 Chrysler street rod she fell in love with. Actually its a 41 Chrysler Business Coupe with a 37 Chevy front end, with a 350/350 10 bolt, GM electrics etc.

So, the alternator was making a nasty grinding noise so i replaced it, how fun, my first lesson in working around fat fenders. Some of you guys may have the same set up. Its got a neat turnbuckle style belt tightening bracket, but it sure shakes around alot.

It doesnt have a brace from the back of the alternator to the manifold. Does someone make one? I can post some pics of the engine if need be, or just for the heck of it if anyone is interested.

Thanks

edited for large pics

a picture of what you speak of would help .. but being a 350 chevy set up it should not be difficult to get factory type mounting system for your alternator so as to not shake so

take a few shots from a bit more distance ..

sorry those were from my phone, didnt think they would be so big, charging the camera battery as i type

First, welcome to CHR.
Just a thought, you might want to resize your photos to make them a bit smaller. Remove your photos in the first post and then re-attach the resized photos.

Also, pop in a few pictures of the whole car. We like pictures!!!!!.

here are some resized pics

hmm what happened to my post with the pics.

OH, never mind
