Alternator Brackets

The alternator bracketry consisted of a triangular support – D0SE-10156-A (right) and an adjustment bracket D0OE-10145-B (left). Detail pix of the D0SE-10156-A are shown below;

Adjustment Brackets

The difference between the CJ bracket (black – D0OE-10145-B) and the standard 429/460 bracket (blue – D0SE-10145-A) is that the CJ bracket has a longer adjustment slot than the standard and is a little bit beefier. The thickness is the same.

Smog Pump/Alternator Bracket

The 429 SCJ uses a modified 429 CJ alternator bracket to mount the Smog pump to the engine. As can be seen in the photos above, Ford added an additional mounting tab to the CJ bracket to serve as the lower mount for the Smog Pump. This mounting tab can be clearly seen in the photo at center right with the CJ bracket overlaid on top of the SCJ bracket. The SCJ bracket is part number D0VE-9B450-A as shown in the photo at right and bracket alone below;.

This is a view of this bracket installed (without smog pump) showing the eyelet that provided the lower mounting point for the smog pump.

Smog Pump Adjustment Bracket

This is the 429 SCJ smog pump adjustment bracket (Part # D0VE- 9B452-A). A bolt through the slot allows the smog pump to be adjusted to tension the drive belt.

This is an overview of how the bracketry assembles together for the 429 SCJ smog system.

Power Steering Brackets

This is the power steering pump support bracket (D1AZ-3A732-A). It bolts to the front of P/S pump via the three holes in the “C” shaped portion.

The support bracket shown at left attaches to the adjustment bracket (right) that bolts to the engine.
