York 210 on a 258 with v-belts

[fmlewis]

Anyone out there running a 258 wth a York compressor for oba? I would like to see some pics of your setup.

The pics I have seen mount the alternator down low and I would like to keep it up high. I was thinking of making a bracket to mount it to the side of the york. But I thought I would check out what others are running.

I picked up a pair of 210 yorks at the IOK swap meet along with some stock a/c brackets.

Let me know.

i ran mine with factory brackets,with the alternator underneath. i never changed it because i never really had issues with it right under. my york was higher than the valve cover so its not like the alt is down below the crank pully.

post up some pics of whatever you come up with :)

Yep, alt under the York. The spacers can be a pain if you drop them. These are all the pics I have of it

Can you post some pics of the alternator mount? Also, what is the brace coming off the back of your york? Do you think that is necessary? Did you use the idler near the alternator or just the one near the power steering pump or both?

I am planning on mounting mine standing up. I thought about making a bracket to adapt my stock alternator bracket to the side of the york. But after looking at it doesn't seem like it is all too low using the stock brackets.

Let me know. I will certainly post some pics after I get it done. It will be awhile. I am thinking this is a good winter project.

My mount is from Kilby many years ago and a bolt on pully to the crank is what runs it. You might get a better picture of the mount on Kilby's site.

The extra brace must be needed, I have never had any problem with it. The fan being closer to the radiator has caused problems in the past. Someday I will get the contour fan for it.
