Guys,

I'm almost through with a restoration of my 57 Bird and am running a passenger car engine without the waterpump spacer and using the passenger car damper.  Before ordering a alternator kit I am wondering if there is any interference with the shock tower or would this just pertain to running an orginal generator setup?  I decided to leave the orginal drivetrain intact due to converting to an AOD and having a spare 312 to build that I had run in a 55 Crown Vic many years ago.  If someone has been down this road before I would appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Larry Boyer
