307 accessory brackets

[Algershick]

I'm getting real close to finally firing this thing off. 😀 when I disassembled my 307 I did a poor job documenting my accessory drive. I've got both power steering brackets mounted, with the proper spacers installed. I have the drivers side aluminum alternator bracket mounted.

The lower alternator bracket has me confused. Does it attach to the end exhaust manifold bolt? Was there a stud originally?

Thanks,
Austin

Yes, it attaches to the front bolt on the exhaust manifold. I believe it was a stud and nut.

Been there. In the mid 90's I tore down an 84 Supreme Brougham and had all that stuff in the trunk. 6 months or a year later and I had no clue how to put it back together. Thankfully my best friend had an 85 Delta 88 that provided an example.

Thanks for the info. I've got headers now, so I'm going to have to get creative with shims behind that stud.

I hear ya! I have no excuse, there's a camera in all of our phones for crying out loud. 😀

Yeah when I did it, it was still before the digital picture era.

Maybe it'll be useful for someone else down the road; no stud on the exhaust manifold bolt. I was able to get proper alignment with the bracket mounted against what would have been the manifold flange, using a bolt and not a stud.
