Used alternator adjusting bracket for any 390 engine 1968-69 Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang without factory smog. Specifically this is for 1968 390-2V or X code engines, and 1969 390-4V or 390IP engines offered in 1969 cars with S code designation.
Replaces Ford part number C8AE-10145-A.
This is the 411 for 1968-69 alternator mounting on Mustang and Cougar with 390 engines. If your 1968 S code car (390GT or 390-4V) was delivered in the United States (meaning not Canada or other foreign country) your car was originally equipped with smog, and your alternator was mounted low, under the smog air pump on the passenger side of the engine. All X codes or 390-2V premium fuel cars in 1968, and all 390-4V or 390IP engines (S code) in 1969, did not have smog and used this alternator mounting bracket which locates the alternator high up on the passenger side. Those of you with 1968-70 390 or 428CJ engines can use the top mounting alternator brackets on your engines without modification. You just need the proper brackets and hardware. One pit fall is the alternator wiring which is specific to high or low mounted alternators. We have successfully 'clocked' the rear of the alternators to use original alternator wiring harnesses.
