Classic/Antique Car Repair: Alternator for 1968 Jeep Wagoneer, wagoneer, buick
QuestionHello I have a 1968 Jeep Wagoneer with a 350 V-8 5.7 liter engine. I am trying to mount the alternator but unable to do so. I can't figure out how the brackets go. Can you assist with a diagram on how to install? Thanks.

David, The original V-8 engine would be a Buick 350, in which case the alternator is mounted on the passenger side. The adjustment bracket is mounted on a bolt off the 10 o'clock position of the water pump. The pivot point is mounted to the block or the A/C bracket as appropriate. See the attached image. Hope this applies to your setup. - Rick
