16 volt Alternator setup for dragster
I have a new 16 volt alternator with brackets that simply won't fit my dragster.

It is a full size alternator. Any pics of what bracket system you are using on a dragster?

That bracket is on both my dragster and Firebird.

Go to Powermaster web site. They have a bunch of different brackets with drawings and measurements so you can find one that will work perfectly.

Depending on the width of your lower frame rails you might have to alter one, but theirs are best I've used. Took a couple trips to the parts store trying various belt lengths to get it just right.

I have a dry sump on my dragster. I flipped my alternator around and run it on the passenger side. It just runs in reverse.

I use the moroso bracket that holds the alternator and vac pump. I also have a dry sump and it doesn't interfere.
