My 350 engine on my 57 Belair needs the correct alternator bracket. The one it has now was fabricated many years ago and it does not look good. Does anybody know which alternator bracket to use on this ram horn exhaust manifold #3749965? and where can I get one. Thanks .

Thanks Shadetree 55, I do have an extra RH side manifold #3747038 laying around somewhere. I would still need the correct alternator bracket for either of the two manifolds. Where can I find these brackets. I don't even know what they look like for this application.

GEEEEEEEEEZ, this is just toooooooooooooo easy..
Simply use your basic 63-68 Chevy alternator bracket. There was both a left and right side alternator used on SB Chevy engines.
These are pure, bolt-on, factory Chevy parts for the alternator on my 51 Chevy with a 389SB. Too simple.

This would work on the ram horn exhaust without the boss, #3747038.

All you have to do is put 1963 impala alternator bracket in the search bar on ebay & it brings up several (But) here are 3 item numbers that will work there are more.Another search 1965 Corvette will bring up several but because it says Corvette they think the bracket is gold.

OK everyone. Sorry I took long to reply to you all. With your help and a little searching I finally ordered the lower alternator bracket. I got it from Speedway and I told the Tech that if it did not work I would return it.

What is the distance between the center line of the bracket bolt holes on your manifold?
