subiemech85 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 what did you rob it from? got more pics? how do you adjust belt tension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 it was off a old oldsmobile sorry i should have elaborated a bit more i am using the lower half of a stock sube alternator mount i built/welded the shiny custom upper arms so it basically adjusts just like the stock alternator would i used a 3-4 inch section of 1/8" l-bracket metal as the base and the 2 upper arms and cross brace to the intake are made of 1/4 " x 2" flat stock i think yeah i got a few more pics just no where to put em oh i also got rid of the air conditioner junk and am only running one belt for the power steering and water pump and alternator i need to put the small tensioner puley back on for the a/c and get a shorter belt it doesn't seem to need it but.. it would make me feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddcomp Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 well after about 250 miles or so on a last trip to seattle at 3500-4500 rpm most of the way no problems so i guess its a good mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
