Your cart is empty.Just because you've got a vintage FlatheadCompatible with Ford Compatible with V8 in your ride doesn't mean you're stuck with the antiquated charging system. Switching to a tried-and-true GM 1-wire alternator is a great upgrade for any Flathead-equipped vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system. Bracket fits 1946-1953 V-8 engines. Heavy-duty steel construction. Can easily be painted to match your engine. Designed to work with the two narrow-belt drive system typical of late '50-'53Compatible with Ford/Mercury passenger cars. Will not work with single wide belts unless the alternator is modified (see Notes) 3/8" I.D. hole for mounting the alternator. Tapped 7/16"-20 to mount to the engine.

The product wasn't exactly what we needed, no fault of the manufacturer, but we managed to make it work.It came in a timely fashion. We had to have it cut into two pieces and then welded back together to create an off-set which allowed us to mount the alternator to the right of the 3 carburetor bank of our 48 F-2 flatbed pick-up.

I am installing this on my 1949 Mercury 8, it went on there fine but as another person said, you will need to make a trip to the hardware store as some bolts need to be shorter and the fan bolts are a different thread, with that being said the part fit just fine. I also needed a longer belt, I went from a 24.75" to a 27" but other than that it is good.

Some details were missed. The original alternator bolts are a different size thread. the ones in the bracket are 7/16 by 14 pitch the ones originally from ford are 7/16 by 20. Be prepared to go to the hardware store again.
