One of my Buick buddies noted my alternator was 'clocked' wrong and the
electrical connections would interfere with the installation of the AC
compressor. Easy fix. Just remove the 4 bolts holding the half's
together and pull apart just enough to twist. I moved mine 90°
Here's the old lower AC bracket. Its of the 71-72 vintage. 70 brackets were aluminum
And here's the 70 bracket in place. Bolted in exactly like the
previous bracket except I had to find a longer bolt for the bottom. The
steel bracket is only the thickness of the steel. The aluminum bracket
was almost 1 1/2" think at that part. I t was no problem though, I
went though my 'back of tricks' which is full of bolts from a 75 Lesaber
I scrapped and found a perfect bolt.
Here it is all back together. Ive been sizing up the mounting for the compressor, and it should be all good.
