Im thinking about converting from my cc q-jet to a tpi system. My question is will my factory altenator bracket, and airconditioning bracket fit the tpi mainfold. I think the ac one will because it takes an intake bolt hole. But the altenator one will it? if someone can please post a pic of where there tpi one bolts too, or if there is a provision for it please let me know

 

This is for the '87 v-belt setup. In any case it should give you an idea. The alternator bracket attaches to the water pump and the first bolt for the passenger side runner. The a/c bracket is more complicated but it attaches to the front of the intake manifold with two bolts. Do you have a pic of your current setup?

 

thank you for the quick reply. On my car the Altenator bracket attaches to the intake manifold via a provision on it, heres a pic of that

 

and the ac bracket seems to be the same... heres a pic of that... ill try to get a better pic of the altenator bracket

 

heres 2 more better ones, Mods please allow these pics, you can delete after i figure it out please

 

one more

 

I agree, the a/c bracket looks the same. It looks like you will have a get a TPI alternator bracket. It shouldn't be hard though. You can prolly find one in a yard, ebay, or this site.

 

one of the bolts on mine bolts to the waterpump, i wonder if i can modify mine to blot to the tpi intake, or does it even bolt to the tpi intake?

 

circled is where the alternator bracket attaches

 

so there is no way that itll bolt up. hmm o well thanks for all your help, and i hope to get converted soon. Now you dont know about anybody that is selling a altenator bracket do you

 

I bought the alt braket from GM. It doesn't cost much if you know someone that works at the dealer...

 

my dads a shop foreman for a chevy dealer, so we will see how much it is. Also thanks again for all your help it is really appreciated

Or just order an upper alt braket for an 85 trans am/TPI..

 

thank you i appreciate it

 

If you didn't allready buy the TPI setup, look into a hsr instead. Don't make the same mistake a lot of us have.

I totally agree, in fact the HSR cost less. Just use a tpi harness and puter.

 

honestly i would look into the hsr, but im 16, with no job, and im getting a really good deal on a setup, minus a few things from a member on here

 

Steve, where are you located? Good luck with the swap. And don't be afraid to pm me with any other questions.

 

im rancho cucamonga Califronia, and thanks, but i may not be doing the swap right now anyways
