Mounting a Mechanical Fuel Pump W/Alternator - 03/12/09 10:25 PM

I'm looking for some options on mounting a mech fuel pump for a Ron's Terminator system while still using a low-mount alternator? Also, what mandrel setup did you use to accomplish this? Pics appriciated!
Thanks!

I just put a Ron's Toilet and belt driven pump on my BB. However, I have an alternator in the stock location, and the Ron's pump mounting kit worked. I did have a crank trigger, so I modified the length of the stand offs, but that was it.

Pics is hard to see since it is pretty crowded in the front.

Jim-
Did you use the mandrel setup from Ron's? BTW, is the alt pully your using from Moroso?
I was looking at the Moroso mandrel assy that seemed to be pretty universal using different types of pullys and spacers. I ask this because the Terminator I bought use to be on a sb chevy. I have a bb mopar spacer and mount setup however, I'm missing the piece that attaches to the balancer.

Looks good. How is the set up working for you?

Jim,

I just bought a Ron's Terminator for the Cuda and would really appreciate it if you could post some pictures of how you mounted your fuel cell in the front.

Thanks,

Arnie

1) I am using the Ron's crank mandrel, entire install kit.
2) I am not sure what brand the crank pulley for the alternator is, I bought it at a swap meet 9 years ago. But it looks like a Moroso.
3) I haven't been to the track yet. Weather is not cooperating. But I have run it in the garage. And yes, the alky fumes will kill you. I have exhaust turnouts to help at the track, but in the garage...
All my pulley spacing is adjusted. Including my alternator since it is a Delco 10-SI fit into the stock location.

I can't help with the fuel cell mounting. That is a tough one on a stock front end A-body. Hopefully others can give some tips.

Thanks guys for all the pics! It looks like I may have to relocate my alt back up to the top to fit the fuel pump. I'll have to give this some more thought.
