ALAN
GROVE COMPONENTS INC.
has specialized in fabricated
specialty vehicle components for many years. Our mounting
brackets are crafted from steel plate and represent our
commitment to quality. All welding is T.I.G. and all
edges are smoothly finished. Our brackets are guaranteed
to fit and include all the necessary bolts, nuts, spacers,
hardware, belt-length recommendations and "easy to
follow" illustrated instructions for simple installation.
Dimension requirements for our brackets are provided within
each bracket description on this web site. Please
refer to these before ordering. Your satisfaction
continues to be our goal.
COMPRESSORS
Compressor
brackets are designed for the popular Sanden 508 aftermarket compressors.
These compressors are used by all of the specialty vehicle air
conditioner companies. Most of these companies use our brackets
as standard equipment with their air conditioning systems. The
Sanden part numbers for the 508 compressors are: V groove Freon
12 - 9285, V groove Freon 134 - 4509, Serpentine Freon 12 - 9537,
Serpentine Freon 134 - 4514. Aftermarket Sanden 510 and
709 compressors, while not commonly used, will also fit our brackets.
Although some factory air systems use Sanden style compressors,
these Will Not Work with our brackets.
ALTERNATORS
Alternator
brackets are designed to accept the popular G.M. alternators,
both internally and externally regulated. These include
the 10SI, 12SI, and the newer CS130. On the 12 o'clock
alternators, the center to center of the mounting holes
must be 6-9/16" for use with our brackets. The
CS130 alternators are slightly smaller in diameter than
the 10SI and 12SI alternators, and are available with three
different mounting ear locations as shown below. These
mounting ears use a metric bolt. Our standard bracket will
normally work with the CS130, 12 o'clock alternator.
We can supply some brackets for the 10 or 2 o'clock alternators
on a special order basis. The 2 o'clock ear is usually
used on low applications, where the alternator is turned
upside down. The CS130 Alternators were used on late 1980-2000
G.M. applications. The 2 o'clock alternator was used with
all 2.8L V-6 applications in the late 1980's (S-10, Astro
Vans etc.). The 10 o'clock alternator was used on Chevy
Caprice from the late 1980's to early 1990's, and Chevy
Trucks from the late 1980's to 2000. The 12 o'clock alternator
was used on the 1989-93 big block Chevy applications.
SAGINAW
POWER STEERING PUMPS
Chevrolet
first used the attached reservoir pump in 1961 and they are still
in use today in a few applications. There are a large number
of pumps available that will work with our power steering pump
brackets. Any pump with two attachment points on the back
may be used with the correct V-8 Chevrolet power steering pump
pulley. Our bracket kits are furnished with a detailed information
sheet on pump applications.
CHEVROLET
WATER PUMPS
Chevrolet
used short water pumps on all passenger car applications thru
1968 and trucks thru 1972. Long water pumps are used on
most later applications. A diagram is provided in our Dimensions
page throughout this web site to show the length difference.
If using a long pump we recommend the use of a 1972 or later pump,
as they have a reinforced bearing area, a larger impeller and
will accept a 2 groove pulley. A LONG OR SHORT WATER PUMP
MAY BE USED ON ANY YEAR CHEVROLET V8 ENGINE. If overall
engine length is a factor in your installation, changing from
a long to a short pump will reduce the length by 1-3/8" on
a small block and 1-1/2" on a big block. IMPORTANT:
Short water pump crank and
water pump pulleys must be used with a short pump and long water
pump crank and water pump pulleys must be used with a long pump.
