How to build a Chris Craft 283 / 350 conversion marine motor Part 8 

Hi Guy. Hope all is well. The alternator I have are original units which are Autolite ALE-5202-A. 40 amp units that do require a voltage regulator which is part number VBV-6201-A. Not sure what you mean re brackets? If you’re talking the top adjustable bracket that is a CC part you would need to find from a supplier like Robert Henkel. Same for the bottom plate. Now you would need to have the correct front housing that has the boss cast into it for that bottom plate. Hope this helps

Hi Don. Thanks for the information. I understand better now. I see the boss you mentioned. My housing doesn’t have that. I had a 1959 283 FWF engine that I parted-out. It’s generator wasn’t water cooled. The generator on my 1961 engine is water cooled. And your engines have alternators. I appreciated your description of that progression.
