Alternator with mid plate, vac pump & belt drive fuel pump

[dusterdragracer]

Got my alternator mounted on the mid plate, along with a belt drive fuel pump, and vacuum pump. Had to scratch my head a while with this one.
I used the CVR mini 75 amp alternator, with their BB Chevrolet mid plate mount.
Turned it around backwards. It was tight squeeze. had to move a few things around to make it work.
Great to see 14 volts on the gauge......Never charge between rounds again.

I think I see an engine in there..... is that a valve cover in the upper right? Clean looking mill!

Alternator mounted on the mid plate really got my attention so I had to look . You have the alternator mounted on the "engine plate ". The "mid plate" is the plate that is in between the engine and the trans .

Good work by the way on mounting job ,,,,,

Nice job !
I went down low , but fortunately I didn't have a fuel pump and a vacuum pump to wrestle with too........or a water pump. lol

Yeah I thought I was about to see some crazy converter driven thing I'd never seen before lol

That is a sweet setup!
What kind of maual pump? Is it cable drive? What is it feeding?
What kind of vacuum pump?

Nice. I bought the car with everything already installed. So I had to use the only pulley left, and squeeze it in. I would rather have mounted it like yours. Yours looks awesome.

BTP fuel pump. Cable is for manual shut off NHRA required. Vac pump is Aerospace.

Thanks.
Like I said , I am glad I didn't have a vacuum pump and fuel pump in there too.
Flipping the alternator around was an inspired bit of engineering.
And not having to worry about between round charging is HUGE !
