CNC Custom Billet Brackets - Brick By Brick - Tech

With the arm attached to the alternator, CnC slid the alternator between the arms and bolted it in place.

Lastly, Mike and CJ bolted the other end of the adjuster arm to the water pump.

With the alternator installed, CnC took a hop, skip, and a jump to the other side of the motor, where they began installing the power steering bracket, which installs in a similar fashion to the alternator.

The first step to installing the power steering bracket is to assemble it using the two large spacers and Allen head bolts.

Next, CnC slid the two remaining hex head bolts into the brackets. Installed over the hex head bolts are two washers. These allow the power steering pump to swivel freely when adjusting tension on the belt.

Before installing the bracket on the block, CnC screwed the bracket into the power steering pump.

Next up, CnC bolted the entire setup to the block. Just like the alternator bracket, the power steering bracket uses a tensioner arm. One side of the tensioner arm bolts to the pump, and the other end bolts to the bottom of the water pump. Once again, CnC used a little bit of Teflon for the water pump bolt.

The last leg of the install is the throttle kickdown bracket. The bracket bolts to the base of the carburetor. The CnC Customs throttle kickdown brackets are designed to work with most popular carburetors. Mike started off by removing the left-side carburetor studs that bolt the carburetor to the manifold.

Then the kickdown adjuster brackets were installed on the throttle bracket plate. These two brackets can be slid either forward or backward to apply the adequate tension needed on the throttle cable.

CnC then put the assembled bracket in place and bolted the bracket to the carburetor and manifold using the hardware provided.

Mike and CJ then hooked up the throttle cable to the new CnC bracket. After that, it was time to step back and watch the motor shine.
