I want to install a crank trigger on my BBM but I have the ATI balancer with the Chevy front, do I get a crank trigger for a BBC and just make it work?

It's just that easy.
O.K. , it was for me , but I mounted the pick up bracket to a motor plate.
I have a small block and use the ATI with a big block pattern.

Buy the kit for a BB Mopar. The wheel comes drilled for Mopar and BB chevy. Also you can mount the pick up bracket on the left or right side.

Wow thanks, I will be mounting a vacuum pump on drivers side.
Looks like plenty of room.

I use AndyF's brackets on my new EFI setup...I was real happy with them.

Dvw, is your alternator mount sorta home made too? Other than the water pump part.
I have the same one but on passenger side.

The boss on the water pump was .750" diameter aluminum that sat flush on the lower bolt face of the water pump. It was welded to the pump housing to stabilize it. The motor plate was slotted by marking the radius with a pencil stuffed through the alternator mount hole and swinging the alternator off the water pump mount. I drilled a series of holes along the mark and connected them by hand with a die grinder. This curved slotted hole gives the belt adjustment. Then it's spaced out with .750" round stock drilled for a through bolt clamping it to the plate.
