B18 Alternator position - Page 3

Only the very late 1967 B18 blocks have the 2 bolt holes adjacent to the fuel pump for the factory alternator bracket. This upgrade was to allow an alternator to be fitted to the 123GT. All B20 blocks have the holes. USA posters to this thread have to remember that UK RHD owners have to contend with having the steering box on the dynamo/generator side so space for alternators is limited. That is why the small Denso ones are a good choice.

Some 30 years ago I cast off a batch of conversion brackets for mounting an alternator on the older B18 blocks. I should go back to this and make some more. I might still have the buck
