Alt Bracket Mod (need ideas)

[Rollbar]

I am going to change out the timing set this weekend and Peach said she doesn't want her A/C system.

I was looking at the Alt and the slot tensioner is mounted on the A/C housing. I was thinking of using the steel plate to mount a double stationary pulley to feed off of the crank to rotate the Alt and use the Alt to tighten it. I figure the time is right while I'm at it.

Any other Ideas?

Would one think NAPA would carry the pulley?



Old pictures but you get the idea.

Here's some pic's of AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l 's with no A/C, I hope it helps.











I would doubt NAPA having the pulley, but I've been wrong before.
Good Luck.

Thank you very much.

U think NAPA/AZone would have these brackets, or maybe even 4WDH.

I'll have to look, hopefully NAPA/AZone.

Thanks again,
Jim

I would check old junkyards for old AMC products.
All AMC came with AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l 's & AMC 232 i6 's they would use the same brackets & pulleys.
I know it tough to find CJ parts in junk yards, but not old Pacers,Hornets, Gremlins, Cherokee Chief or Wagoneer.
I also found a better picture of the bracket.

Thanks, I'm checking NAPA now.

It is a one piece bracket by the looks of it.

Thanks,

Craig's List or E-Bay are also good places to find parts like that.

Thanks, thats what I need.

I'll keep looking.

Thanks, I found one on Ebay (although I don't like to buy off E) for 20 bucks+15 bucks shipping.
