For now I cut a keyway in a dual V belt Ford alternator pulley and installed it on my generator. Looks like there is a lot of room there but - between the battery tray, block, and lower A-Arm it's tight. Tried 3G, 6G, and other Motorcraft alts but all too big. The adjustable bracket I bought works great for mounting but doesn't allow enough room for adjustment (with the original adjusting bracket). Was hoping to have a simple parts list put together for the group for an easy bolt on Alternator conversion but that hasn't worked out. You're probably right on the year - I see that it also has a high mount Alternator.ĭANG IT - No - my install isn't done yet but thanks for asking.ĭoing an alternator conversion at the same time. It's hard to tell from that pic but the bolt comes in from the back into the idler pulley housing so I believe they are both adjustable. When I bought the bracket it only came with one idler pulley which is adjustable. I have a that A/C bracket - it's the first one I bought and was going to use until I realized it interfered with the expansion tank. No - not mine - snagged from the web and just listed the info given about the pic. Gary - sorry - somehow I missed the reply. Here is a SANDEN compressor mounting kit. I am thinking you will have to find the original FEAD (Front Engine Accessory Drive) from an OEM AC 59 FORD, unless you can adapt the kit listed below. They do offer complete changeovers for some GM cars. You must piece together a complete install. I would Appreciate is so very much I just want to drive my car again bobb圜an you post what kit(s) you bought and just what Vintage Air promised? I see no complete kit offered. The main problem is it needs to be 3.44 inches in depth toĪlign with crankshaft on bottom. Soposed to have all the parts needed but I cant find a water My car is all original with 332 engine the kit we bought was so my wife bought me a vintage aire kit for I recently devoloped a lung problem and cant be in hot My name is bobby and I have a 1959 ford galaxie. This is an aftermarket A/C bracket on my car but at least it shows what the water pump pulley looks like. I'm thinking the aftermarket system on the Galaxie would be the same as the factory system on the Tbird - just a guess though. Just finished figuring out how the belts will work and still use my P/S pump on my car - had to use a 63 Galaxie P/S dished pulley. If you're close to Charlotte NC I could loan you mine and you can see if it works - otherwise I can get some measurements off my pulley. Those pulleys are a bit hard to find and usually expensive - Carl Heller(partsetal) here on the forum might have a good used one. I bought my spacer from Sumit but it's made by flex fan. The end of the pulley is bigger than the end of the waterpump. If you do use this pulley you will probably have to get a new spacer for the fan. It's a COAE-8509-A pulley for the water pump. Maybe what you need is like Dave mentioned and what is on the Tbird. Vintage Air catalog didn't show a Surefit system for the Galaxie so I guess you have a generic system. The water pump is driven by 2 other belts going to the crank and genny - but not to the A/C compressor. Notice no adjustment slots on the compressor bracket so belt adjustment is done by moving the offset idler pulley.īut on the factory Tbird 352 the compressor holes are slotted to move the compressor and adjust the belt - maybe that's the way the Vintage kit would work? The Tbird only has a belt from the water pump to the compressor. The belt would run from the compressor (missing) around 2 idler pulleys (one missing) and down to the crank. So here's a Galaxie 332 or 352 with factory A/C. I think you're right Dave - like the Tbird 352 A/C setup (which has been a royal pain to get figured out).
