Main Bracket Assembly - Ford Mustang 1986 Installation Instructions Manual

7. MAIN BRACKET ASSEMBLY

Assemble the main bracket, plate and
other parts necessary to relocate the al-
ternator and smog pump and make room
for the supercharger. For 1992 and later
vehicles, please review points A through H
before starting.
A. Measure the length of the pivot boss on
the alternator and record. It should be
very close to 3".
B. In a similar manner, measure the boss on
the smog pump. When combined with the
.920" spacer, it should be 4.050". Record
these measurements so that in the event
of a belt alignment problem, Vortech can
properly advise you.

NOTE: The upper mounting bolt
boss on the smog pump (if
equipped) requires grinding
to allow for fitment of the V-7
compressor (see Fig. 7-b).
C. Place the smog pump and alternator on
the large aluminum mounting bracket as
shown. After making sure the 6 1/4" bolts
have a washer on them, enter the cast
mounting bracket from the rear (coming
towards you). Place the .920" tube spacer
over the bolt on the smog pump. Lower
supercharger mounting plate over bolts.
The idea is to sandwich the alternator
and smog pump between the mounting
bracket and plate. Place washers and
nuts on the 6-1/4" bolts and finger tighten.
For vehicles equipped with alternators
having larger 7/16" pivot bolts, it will be
necessary to enlarge the corresponding
hole in the plate.
D. Start the 3/8-16 x 1" fastener with a
washer at the top of the bracket and
finger tighten. Insert the 6-1/2" and 7"
bolts. These bolts will later hold assembly
to engine.
NOTE: Remember to place the .920"
spacer between the smog
pump and mounting plate.
