Re: Triple Carbs + alternator
Hi 47Merc,
IF I can get this to work correctly... I bought an alternator setup which was supposed to be able to work with 3 97's. The person I bought it from description is below and I will see if I can include a picture.
"This GM alternator has been reworked to put out 110 amps. the Speedway Motors bracket was made for a 59A engine but I milled the back side so it would work on an 8BA engine with truck water pumps. I had it on an Offenhauser 3 carb intake. it will clear the front carb and the belt lines up perfectly. I also had to mill the right side alternator mount."
Here is a picture he had of that setup. I currently have it installed on a 4 bbl setup on my 8BA as I didn't want the hassle of trying to set up my 3 carbs on a newly rebuilt motor. Much simpler to start it the first time with a single 4 bbl. I hope this helps.
If you need a picture of the alternator or parts numbers off it I can get that for you. It is a GM 1 wire alternator.
